Different

Something everybody is scared to be, for they fear they will be rejected by society if they are. Those who are different are often labeled as: weird, crazy, deficient, stupid, a loser, or just a "reject".
Me: I despise people who just roll along with the population, instead of making their own path. People who can't develop critical thinking, therefore they go by the information that this close-minded society has sewn into them. People with a mediocre mentality, that does not allow them to look outside the box and to make their own opinions, thus shaping themselves into just another "brick on society's wall". A society that encourages order, discipline, and uniformity, instead of originality and spontaneity. A society made by them. Ironic isn't it?

Be different.

A Different Breed

An individual who is not afraid to leave behind the confines of normal society in search of a more fulfilling way of life.
"Why don't you want to get married, have kids, work a 9 to 5 job, and be trapped in a miserable life like everyone else? You're weird."

"I'd rather travel the world, have countless adventures, and sleep with many beautiful women along the way. Maybe I'm in a different breed."
