Just as this title suggests, I mean every word of it. There’s nothing wrong with being different. Different is what makes things interesting. Different stands out. Although different can sometimes be lonely, it also has its benefits. My problem in the past was trying to be places I didn’t need to be and around people I didn’t need to associate myself with. Not saying that both things mention was all bad, I just knew it wasn’t going to last long. Even when I tried to extend the season, I found myself being kicked out (metaphorically speaking.)

I’m at the point now where I’m most certain when things don’t necessarily suit me. And no, it’s not one of those situations/seasons where you’re in a place of being uncomfortable in order to grow. Rather, I just know that if it’s not a fit, I’m gone. I’m typically quiet but I become quieter immediately when things are unsettling. People and places, whatever the matter, I’ll go mute and walk away instantly. Why waste time when there’s no time to waste? I’m not saying be stand offish however I am saying to be observant.

I had a dream about 5 years ago maybe even a little further than that, that to this day I find disturbing. I was walking in a mall, and it was a huge open area (like the middle of a mall usually looks like while walking around) where there were rows of women that were sitting. It was a meeting of some sort. Each row match from head to toe. Same color hat, blazer, skirt, and heels and they all had their legs crossed like women usually sit with their hands in their lap. One row the women had on all yellow, the next all orange, etc. As I was heading to go in the opposite direction, they all turned their heads in unison in my direction. I instantly felt uneasy as I continued to walk away. As I walked away, I remember thinking that they were all witches. (And that was the end of the dream)

Simply put, from my understanding of this random (but not so random) dream that I clearly remember that will come to my memory every now and again, has made me realize that I didn’t fit in. I was indeed different. The different experiences I’ve faced over the years proved what that dream was showing me. I was around people who thought and act the same, but I couldn’t relate. Doesn’t make them witches (even if some of them did partake in that practice that I was not aware of) it just wasn’t for me. I don’t claim to be better than anyone, I just claim to be different, and people can assume however they wish.

The message is clear and obvious: go where you belong. The journey may be long, but the end results are rewarding. Staying around people and places where you don’t belong does more harm than good.

Thanks for reading! 🙂
