BLACK SHEEP - THE BEAUTY OF BEING DIFFERENT

in #life6 years ago

We can find a black sheep in almost every family. Someone who is different than the rest. Someone who don't seem to fit in. Is even hated just for being different. Maybe the black sheep of your family is even you....

Society is built on the fact that everything what's different must be wrong. That's why people try their hardest to fit in, to be normal. Kids don't want to be outsiders in school. Teenagers are pretending they like things just because they want to be liked by others. We are still worried about what others think of us in adulthood. It's the fear of rejection.

Later we realize that the stronger our wish to fit in was, the more we were suffocating our character. We were killing our personality piece by piece, until there was no personality anymore. Sadly many people are not aware of that and they might never will be.

Don't worry about what others think of you. So what if they think you are crazy. Be proud of it. Be proud of yourself that you are different. Even when you think you are standing alone, it's better being hated for who you really are than loved for who they want you to be. It's impossible that everybody will like you, but the right ones will love you just the way you are. Don't hide your real YOU behind a mask like others do. Remember, you are unique, you are beautiful!!!

Thank you for this inspiring message. :) I am definitely the black sheep! LOL

i'm the black sheep too :D...different is another word for special <3...thank you for visiting and for your time reading my post!!!

I always thought there was a certain power in being different. You don't have to fit the expectations others fall into, so you have more time to spend on figuring out who you are, and what makes you so awesome.
Being different can be scary, but it's also incredibly rewarding!

i totally agree with you!!..of course it can be scary..but losing yourself can be even scarier.....
