I celebrate myself for being who I am, and not being what others want me to be. I have my own interests and my own sources of happiness. Some may be happy with their solitude, being surrounded by nature. Others may like the company of dozens or even hundreds of other people around them at all times. However, I sometimes enjoy just being on my own in my own room, with the only connection I have to the outside world is the Internet, or being with just a small group of friends. Being different from others should not be frowned upon, but encouraged.
If everyone in this world were almost exactly the same, the world would be boring. Everything would be exactly the same. It is the individualism of the artist to create something new that would amaze or interest others.
So, I celebrate myself, just for being myself. I celebrate myself for not trying to become a doctor or lawyer like my mom wants me to. I celebrate myself for doing things that makes me happy and not what others want me to do to make myself happy. In the end, if you're not truly being yourself, you are not truly happy.
I commend you on doing what makes you happy but do you think that anyone can be happy just by being themselves or at least being comfortable with themselves?
ReplyDeleteI second Keduse's comment (as in "please reply to that comment" kind of second) and do you truly think being different from others should always be encouraged? Do you think being different is encouraged for the most part? (I know we all have our little bubbles of problems and happiness, and I'm not trying to say that no one encourages variety among individuals.)
