What makes you different?

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

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

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.
If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.
Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

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

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.
Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.
Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.
Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.
Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.
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.

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.
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.
Yes, I was not at all happy.

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

What makes you YOU.

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.
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.
You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.

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