Ignorance

Often thought of myself as different And the differences were very significant Tried to assimilate Shook like a quake Quite different but far from ignorant

I'd say that is an apt evaluation of yourself, Jack. Most of us think you are very special!

Oh Jack, you're just another snowflake dancing on a wintry wind. I often imagined my mother saying "Oh, look, my little Johnny is the only one in step."....I have also been told that I didn't "march to the beat of a different drummer" I stole the damn drum and took off.....But if you hadn't been you then someone else would have had to be you and they would probably have screwed it all up for you...WHAT!!!!!

Yes I feel different but as you say we are all different! It took a long time for me to accept that! I now understand how there are not two of us alike... hard to fathom!
