I'm different because of my personality.

I'm never alike people around me. I don't care about makeup, or fashion, or talking, or celebrities. I'm not musically inclined, yet on the other end of the spectrum, I don't enjoy playing chess and reading comic books. I think I have no interests, but rather I absorb everything around me. You say that being different is good. Show it, don't blend in. Yet I play a chameleon, just to be social accepted. When there's nobody quite like you, you have to go with the next best people. I find that nobody understands me. It's easy when there are at least a small group of people with interests in such and such, but there really aren't for me.

To me, I think different isn't about the way you dress, or what you do. I think different is the way you think, and how similar it is with the thoughts of others. What really separates you from the crowd. Anybody can dress or pretend to be somebody they are not, even if they agree with the views and minds of those around them. But I think different is that you know in your heart and soul that you are just that - different. That as you walk around, talk to other people, listen to their views and thoughts, you see none or few similarities with one's own - and, quite frankly, don't understand them. Because you know that you are yourself, and nobody can compare you correctly with anybody else. People can dress or act one way, then do the complete opposite the next day. Yet if there are hundreds of other people also changing every so often, then are you really different? I think being different is that the way your mind works, the way you comprehend and perceive things, your immediate reactions - I think that's what makes someoen different.

One of my best friends is a raw-vegan-vegetarian. That means she only eats raw fruits and vegetables. Maybe extreme, but every little step counts...
