I don’t understand why everyone has to fit into the small round hole to be normal. I get so tired of being an outcast because of my differences. So this is a rant and a personal observation.

I’ve always been different. I’ve never discerned why I’m different, but I have always had a hard time fitting in anywhere. Here’s a small snippet of what I’m like and what sets me apart.

When I was little I was convinced that if I focused hard enough I could transfer my consciousness from my body to someone else’s. I thought that other people’s view of the world must be so astoundingly different than my own that if I could only see the world from their eyes I would be able to see everything I had been missing. (I thought my view was lacking somehow, but I couldn’t figure out how or why).

I had forgotten all about my childhood mission/dilemma until I started thinking about a conversation I had with my SO. We were talking about cartoons, and the fact that he likes pretty much every cartoon of our time. While I could only think of one that didn’t annoy or bore me. Which was Winnie The Pooh, and even sometimes that was a stretch. Of course my SO thought it was strange and I admit it probably is but I’ve always been that way.

So what’s wrong with me the way I am?! Shouldn’t we celebrate our differences, and maybe even combine them to strengthen the whole herd? Sometimes I’m not sure that I’m the weird one.
