When I was younger, I always wanted to be different.
I'm not entirely sure how I got it into my head that being different was better, infinitely more interesting than being another person in the crowd.
It was a blessing that got me through my teenage years without too much angst about being bullied for how I looked, or being looked at for how I spoke - I was relatively comfortable in my skin and I found friends who appreciated that individuality as much I did.
"They laugh at me because I'm different; I laugh at them because they're all the same."
Now we're older and wiser, let's all find ways to laugh together instead.
