"Admit it. You aren't like them. Not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes.

But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the "normal people" as they go about their automatic experiences. For every time you say club passwords like "Have a nice day" and "Weather's awful today, eh?", you yearn inside to say forbidden things like "Tell me something that makes you cry" or "what do you think deja vu is for?" 
-Timothy Leary 

Leary hit home on that. Throughout high school I tried to fit in and be like the rest to be "accepted". But accepted by who? Friends? Who are they until I need their acceptance? Why must I live my life yearning acceptance when I'm perfectly fine my own, and when I am loved by God, family and close friends? Why must I be like the masses? -.-" I wish I thought like that 9 years ago, tsk. But yeah, if you try to fit in, you're repressing who you really are to be someone you're not. (No, I'm not talking about LGBT. that is a different thing altogether). It's like fitting a square peg into a round hole. 

The point is..... just be who you really are. Your crazy, weird self. Fitting in means throwing out your quirks and uniqueness just to be accepted. Do you wana throw away the things that make you unique and extraordinary?? Dont! It's priceless. No money can buy that.

Cheers.
