Embrace your eccentricities!!! There is something wholly ennobling and liberating about being different from the rest of humankind. Who wants to be the same as everyone else, “the same” in this instance defined as boring and predictable and blindly conforming? Sure, that’s the safe route in life if your only objective is to pass unnoticed and avoid ridicule, but there is nothing wrong with aspiring to standards loftier and more cryptic than mass acceptance. Safe isn’t always best; in fact, it rarely is. Charting a different course and striking out in a markedly different direction may not win you praise and popular acclaim, but then again you only have your own life to navigate and account for, not everyone else’s.
