Day 127: what makes me unique

Hi again,
Today I am thankful for what makes me unique and different. I love that we are all unique and not one person is the same. We may be similar but I don't think any of us are the same. I am not going to get into a big discussion though because I am sure there is a debate on this. lol Anyways growing up I knew I was different-I always have been. So I decided to try to embrace that and accept that different is good. I never fit in at school because I was different but I tried to accept that. Also quite a few years ago I saw a poster that really touched me where there was this whole field of red flowers and then this one yellow flower in the midst of the red flowers. When I looked at the poster, I felt that I could embrace my uniquness and be proud to be the yellow flower. It isn't always easy because sometimes I just want to "fit in" and be a red flower like all the other red flowers out there but how is that embracing who I am? So I try to who I am. I saw a quote awhile back that really speaks to me as well on this subject and it's by Oscar Wilde. It says "Be yourself; everyone else is already taken." So I try to be myself and accept that we are all different and none of us are meant to be the same. Thinking in terms of the flower analogy, I think a beautiful world would be one where there is only one of each colour of flower and every shade of every colour imaginable where we embrace who we are and who other people are. Ok so enough deep stuff now. lol
 People may be wondering what makes me unique? I hate socks and only wear them when I absolutely have to-I would rather go barefoot. lol Physically I am not the same even though I wish I was and I could be 'normal' like other people but what I have gone through makes me who I am and I am stronger because of it. I am very sensitive and sometimes people call me intuitive. I am stubborn and while that is a trait that many people have-it is unique to those of us who have it. lol I have excellent hearing which is a curse in some ways because I hear things I shouldn't or I am not meant to hear. lol I also can't smell which is something unique. I am aware that there are others who can't smell but have never personally met another person who can't. These are some things about me that I have decided to embrace because they are part of who I am. I hope I have not bored anyone with this post. :) So I think we should embrace who we are and not try to be someone we are not because life would be boring if everyone was the same. After all, don't opposites attract?
