FINDING UNIQUENESS

While I was a growing up I decided to learn most social skills I saw people around me exhibit.



Maybe I wasn't born with them and perhaps I could still learn them, this I will always say to myself.



I didn't want to look awkward in social gatherings.

I never wanted to act weird or rather allow people notice am already the weird type.

I just wanted to fit in and look normal like every other person.



Then I tried copying how people related with people and how people responded to certain social situations.

And whenever I don't meet up to those social standards, I start to feel very inadequate.



Meeting people, making friends, attending social functions, relating to the opposite sex, choice of style and fashion etc now looked so much uneasy for me.

I found it difficult combining what I wanted with what I felt the society wanted from me.



I now saw myself living a life that was not mine.

Trying to become someone else and actually wasting the person I really was.

I literally lost my uniqueness trying to fit into places where I was meant to stand out.



But As I Began To Discover Myself, I came to appreciate my awkwardness, weirdness and dumbness. I found out I was different from everyone around. I was unique and I just needed to work on that.



I now started seeing and living life differently.

Today, I have improved in so many aspects of life and am more concerned with investing in myself, pursuing my dreams and adding value to lives of people around me.



I have found love and care in the circle of my friends and family.

Without being like every other person, people could still appreciate me for being me.

I have found UNIQUENESS.



So I encourage you to stick with what is right about you and just work on the necessary ones.

Spend time discovering yourself and also find a way to be hope to your family and a blessing to this world.



And always remember that, "becoming unique in life is not actually becoming a different person but your ability to discover yourself the more determines your uniqueness"



YOU ARE UNIQUE.
