Do not pity me because I’m different.
You see for me, different …is normal.
It’s who I am, who I choose to be, who I made a choice to be, and who I’ll always choose to be.
Do not pity me because I’m different:
There are perks of being different.
People have long stopped expecting me to conform.
They have stopped expecting me to be someone they want me to be, someone I’m not, nor will ever choose to be.
Do not pity me because I’m different.
I love my life. I am happy. And what greater purpose in life than to be happy?
For me, different IS the norm.
I like people who are different.
Can you imagine a world where everyone was cool like you?
Where everyone partied half naked every Saturday night, and were completely wasted?
Or a world where everyone was on FB or IG and couldn’t stop posting cool pics of themselves?
What a boring life, a boring world.
Do not pity me because I’m different:
I used to pity you because you had a facade to put on all the time.
Or so I thought.
Now I realise it isn’t a facade exactly. Only at times.
And that’s okay, I guess no one can live without ever putting up a facade at least for some people, sometimes.
I do not pity you no more : Being cool is the life you have chosen, being not is the life I have.
So in the words of Augustus Waters, I’m happy with the choices I’ve made.
