What makes you different?

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.

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?

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

I'm a 27 year old male currently but I am going through going through gender dysphoria. Why do some transgender people (specifically transgender women since I see that the most) call themselves trannies or shemales? Aren't those offensive words?

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.

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

Do you think the beginning of movies is often better than the rest of the film? Is this a common opinion or do others share this view?

Can you make it?

So, keep on experimenting.

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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

What if he’d come outside?

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

Why do people hate Nickelback so much? What makes them different from other popular bands like Linkin Park, Green Day, etc.? Is it just because they're Canadian or what?

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.

So, what actually makes us all different?

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

Why are German films often so formulaic even though Germany is a European culture? I love them but they follow formula very closely like Hollywood. What are the best German films?

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

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.

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.

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

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

Yes, I was not at all happy.

Why can't NASA just bite the bullet and launch a plainly simple mission, audited by flat earther peers start to finish that definitively proves to even the smallest minds that the earth is an oblong spheroid, and not flat?

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

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

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

Can a mother forget her child after she puts him or her up for adoption?

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

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

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.

What are 50 random facts about yourself?

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

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.

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

What is the worst thing your sibling has done?

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.

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

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

My boyfriend has been separated from his wife for 5 years. Why won't he divorce her? Should this be a deal breaker?

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

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.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

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

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

What makes you YOU.

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

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.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

Agree?

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.

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.

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 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

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

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