What makes you 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.

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

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

What are 50 random facts about yourself?

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.

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

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.

Can you share something that captivates you, whether it's an idea, a discovery, or an invention?

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

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” - Lao Tzu

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.

Is it okay if I am not interested to talk to any of my relatives as I saw the real faces in my brother's marriage as none of them helped us rather were a kind of disappointment and were talking bad?

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.

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

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

What are James Potter's flaws?

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

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?

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 refuse to date any women that are social media influencers, content creators, TikTok celebrities, and use Only fans. Would this be seen as normal, or would I be going too far? Why?

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

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

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

Why do a lot of women have a crush on my boyfriend when they know he is in a relationship with me? I am starting to feel insecure too. What should I do?

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.

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.

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

Why are American university students fine with sharing a room?

What makes you YOU.

What if he’d come outside?

So, what actually makes us all different?

Why do most men who date ugly women brag like it's some big accomplishment, when any guy can pull an ugly woman?

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

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

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

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

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.

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

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.

Why cant I feel anything in my sleep? I cannot even feel myself moving, breathing, and swallowing saliva! I cannot even hear anything, not even my alarm! Some people that I've been with says that I'm moving a lot in my sleep, how can I stop it?

Can you make it?

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

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

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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

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.

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

Without experiments, is life worth it.

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

Agree?

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.

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

So, keep on experimenting.
