hello all,
what does being "unique" mean to you?
i do not mean literally, though that's acceptable too, i mean moreso what it means to you personally. what's your relationship with the idea?
i know quite a few people who feel a need to try to be unique, while others, like myself, find themselves in a polar opposite mindset.
My relationship with the concept of being unique is quite difficult. I am very personal to the idea of fitting in because of my entire life. I watch shows with the lesson of “being weird is okay” and resonate with them so deeply because I’ve always been an outcast. I don’t like the social idea of uniqueness because the idea of being different has been modernized and stereotyped so hard that it’s just another way to fit people into a mold. I enjoy being myself and if that means I’m unique, I equally love it and equally hate it. I’ll always love people being themselves. But my relationship with being “unique” is complicated. Who cares if you’re unique or not? Just be yourself.
