What makes you different?
12.06.2025 02:56
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.

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.
Do most narcissists have good intentions as long as you are under their control?
Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.
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.
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.
I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.
Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.
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.
Why cant I motivate myself to go to school (grade 10)?
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.
So, what actually makes us all different?

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

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

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.
Yes, I was not at all happy.
Agree?
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.
If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.
Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.
Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.
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.
Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.
A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.
