On Being Unique

Here’s my theory, feel free to smash it to bits.

Everyone strives, at some level, to be unique. So the more you try to set yourself apart from the rest of the bunch, the more you become one with said pack.

The thing is, we are already unique. We all have beautiful minds, each worth exploring. And we all have our own thoughts, each one of them being ours. Naturally, we all have a lot in common, and we are all alike to some extent, but that’s not the part we’re talking about.

The thing is, you will not become unique, or any more unique — if you’ll let me get away with that phrasing — if you dye your hair pink, or wear high heels in winter, or pierce your tits or the tip of your cock. Rather than trying to change stuff that does not matter anyway, try focusing on others, and how you make their lives better.

So, the less you do trying to become unique, the better your chances are at staying that way.

Of course, you’ll still be part of the group of unique people and nothing can set you aside from that one.

Bummer, eh?
