What makes you different?

What makes you different?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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.

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

What’s the best way to get over someone you love?

What makes you YOU.

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.

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

I wore a Trump hat to a doctor’s visit. The doctor made a strange comment, he was obviously on the opposite political point that make me uncomfortable. What shall I do on my next visit?

What if he’d come outside?

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.

Is OnlyFans good or bad for the society? Why?

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

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

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

If you received hand-me-downs as a child, how did they make you feel?

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

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

Should Pete Rose's record as the all-time hits leader be recognized and celebrated?

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

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

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

What is the most interesting question you can ask to get to know someone?

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?

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.

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.

Do Republicans want to ban books and decide what your kids can and can’t read?

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

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.

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

I found out I have cancer—I have not told my family. We can’t afford the treatment anyway. Should I just say nothing and let nature take its course?

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

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Agree?

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

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

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.

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

What specific economic and social impacts would result if all climate change policies and regulations were immediately repealed worldwide?

Can you make it?

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

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

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.

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.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

So, keep on experimenting.

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

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

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.

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

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

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

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

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

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

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.
