So true! This quote is very similar to one of my favorites from e.e. cummings: “To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.” Individuality–it is worth the effort!
huge difference in standing out and being true to yourself… but the beautiful twist is if you’re being yourself you naturally stand out from the crowd 🙂

This picture reminds me of a friend who is constantly trying to change everybody to her liking. It’s in her nature to want things her way. She doesn’t like to accept people the way they are. I love her and all my other friends and i wouldn’t want to change them for the world. It’s their weaknesses and strengths that make them special for me. It’s their flawed personalities that made me want to become their freind in the first place. If each and everyone of us was the same, possessed the same qualities, the same strengths, the same weaknesses wouldn’t this world become boring and monotonous? There would be no surprises, no differences, no colours. People wouldn’t know about the joy a person feels when he comes accross a person very different from him, but completes him like two pieces of a puzzle. It is the different people in this world that make it beautiful and colourful, like a rainbow. Appreciate everybody for who they are, because if they weren’t, you might never have met them in the first place. My friends are what complete me, they cover my weakness just like I cover theirs.

So true! Many people need to realize that just because they are not like them doesn’t mean that they should be treated in a poor many. We need to embrace our differences and realize that they are what makes the world we live in so amazing! If we were all the same….how boring the world would be!

I like to stand out of the crowd a bit. Not as much as I used to. I think it’s because I’m getting older… 😉

yes…
that’s why every TGFTD i wrote: ‘be better, be wiser be you’
I love it! The older I get the easier I find it to know that being myself is ok. Whoever you are, that’s just fine.
