Not Different

A word to describe me in one word if need be.

Almost everyone that I know thinks they're special in some way. That they're not your average girl. That there's something different about them that separates them from the rest of the crowd. And most of the time, that "different" element of themselves that they have, is just one of their many insecurities; training their brain to believe that it's actually a specialty rather than a big obvious flaw. Probably unrealized because we live in a self-absorbed community.

Or probably it's just me being my usual pessimistic self again.

But every time someone says they're different from others, I can't help but feel that I can never say the same thing.

What is "different" nowadays anyway?

Is it when what you own is not what everybody else owns?
Is it when you have something that only a number of people have too?
Or is it just different because you claim it to be?

Is it different if everybody IS "different"?

Because if everybody is different then what is normal suppose to be? What would be the definition of normal then?

What is normal?

Because if normal is almost non-existent then shouldn't normal be the actual different?

And what is so wrong with being perceived as normal?

It doesn't matter if you're trying to fit in or trying to stand out, you'll think you're different either way. Different cos you blend in and observe the world. Different cos you're born to stand out but can't you see it's the same thing if both admit that they are different?
