What makes you different?

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?

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.

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.

Why does my crush always looks at me in a sad way whenever I talk with other boys, and if he catch me staring on him then he go and flirt with other girls and then check if I am looking at him?

If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

I’m a 25 year old teacher teaching at boys school & I have colleagues younger than me. I caught one of my students telling her he wanted her as his teacher instead & it hurt my feelings. They compliment her a lot. It makes me jealous. What do I do?

"Life is a journey, not a destination. Enjoy the ride." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

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.

Were you ever in love with your teacher?

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.

Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

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 the best way to end a relationship with someone who has future plans with you?

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.

Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

Have you ever been physically attacked by a demon?

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?

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.

Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.

When have you been in an accident where the other person involved blatantly lied to the police about what transpired?

So, keep on experimenting.

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.

Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.

Atheists who said that reading the Bible made them an atheist, how? Literally there are millions of people who read the Bible daily and still believe in God. So why say that? I mean unless you want to sound smart & edgy

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.

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.

I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.

Can you make it?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.

Agree?

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

Why should the law care about what I do behind closed doors?

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.

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

"Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." - Oscar Wilde

What makes you YOU.

Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.

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.

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.

What if he’d come outside?

All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

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.

Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.

You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.
