What makes you different?

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.
Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.
Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.
What is a common thought that keeps people up at night? Why do some people experience this?
Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.
Can you make it?
What makes you YOU.
Is the Donald Trump Bible any different from a regular Bible? Has Trump altered its contents?
I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu
C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.
Don’t drink because everybody does today.
Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.
You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.
What is unattractive about a nice guy? Why do some women don’t choose nice guys?
Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.
Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.
Take my word. You won’t regret it.
I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.
Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?
Neither I’m Tesla, who got poor grades in school, nor I’ve grown to invent electric current that powers many electronic devices today. Nor I’m an entrepreneur who is the idea behind the Tesla cars.
I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.
Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.
Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.
You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.
P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?
Do older women know what they want?
A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.
Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.
Without experiments, is life worth it.
Why did my ex-narcissist move so fast with his new supply marriage engagement moving in, etc.?
Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.
He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.
Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.
How can I decorate my house creatively?
To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.
Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.
So, keep on experimenting.

Yes, I was not at all happy.
Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.
If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.
What is a good comeback for when someone calls you flat?
Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.
"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde
Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.
Is Twilight appropriate for a 12-year-old?
Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.
All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.
Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.
Agree?
I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.
So, what actually makes us all different?
"Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.
Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.
What if he’d come outside?
I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.
