Don't compare me to them, I wasn't made in a mold or from a cookie cutter. I hate math, love animals, obsessed with fall. I swear like no other, I love hard, I always pick the underdogs, I don't understand concepts that they do.
They have a better eye for detail, they can remember a list of 50 things, they will always be the other. They have special unique talents, they can disarm an argument in a second, they have a more positive attitude, and they can't name a song within the first 5 seconds of it playing.
We are all different, we all have our strengths and weaknesses, we all have our own journey. I'm not them, we don't see eye to eye, I skip while they hop, duck instead of weave, and jump when we should probably crawl. I'm never going to be like them and that's okay because they will never be me. They won't have my exact traits, ideas, thoughts, or even my quirks. They won't have my jammed fingers from playing basketball or the bump on my collarbone from breaking it playing soccer in the 7th grade. I won't be able to rock their sneakerhead game, I can't comfortably wear the clothes they rock, I won't be able to have the same relationships they do, and I won't have their perfect smile.
I'm my own person, human being, creature of nature that no one can duplicate. I'm the only one that will have the same eyes, the same voice, the same attitude that makes me, me. I know my strengths and my weaknesses, but instead of denying the fact we all have a weakness, flaws, or whatever you want to call it, can become a strength. Knowing what I'm good at, empowers me, my weaknesses create me, and the difference between us is what keeps me sane.
So don't compare me or tell me what I should act like, be like, or sound like. I don't care if you think swearing is nasty, that my clothes aren't covering enough, or that I should watch my accent. Don't try to change my characteristics cause I like the way I am.
