I posted this piece about a year ago. I find it still holds true for all of us. Embrace who you are … a very good thing!
It’s not easy to be your own person.
It’s not easy to think outside of the box when everything can be so nice and cozy inside of it.
But you’re special! Most especially when you’re busy being you. Doing what YOU do uniquely well.
Often, It can be hard to go on when you realize you’re different from others.
But being different isn’t necessarily a bad thing. It’s a strong indication that you’ve got some new ideas and thoughts about how to do things. So keep pushing forward, humanity needs people just like you.

The Why About This 
Thank you very much for the beautiful and timely reminder Penny
Hi Steffi, thank you my friend, hoping all is well in your world! xx
Being different is not a bad thing. It is a shame so many judge those who appear to travel outside the “norm”. I have felt different my entire life and it has taken many years to embrace those differences.
I agree LuAnn. It is a shame, when it’s the one’s outside the box that usually end up doing the most amazing things. Keep embracing, good for you and all of us! xx
And thank you for the artwork, sweetheart, it appears on AnElephant’s post today.
You are most certainly welcome and thank you for the attribution! Just a little sketch, glad there was some value to it! 🙂 xo
AnElephantCant help being different
It isn’t as hard as you think
If your smile has a dimple
It is really quite simple
You just need to be very big dumb and pink
Well pink, perhaps, but dumb – never! x
A great post then, and a great post now 🙂
Thank you Alastair, greatly appreciate your warm thoughts! 🙂 xx
