I love "different"

I have often thanked my parents and my upbringing that allowed me to work in the outside world whilst still upholding the values and morals that my parents have instilled in me.It is through this journey that has allowed me to meet different types of people .Meeting someone who is totally different from you is so refreshing and offers you so many lessons that you learn and keep with you for the rest of your life,Meeting people of different races,cultural groups and backgrounds has allowed me to appreciate diversity and helped broaden my mind .Every once in a while i always come across people who are just so beautifully unique and different from anyone i know.This person is usually the individual who does not conform to the norms of society and is so beautiful in their ability to be themselves always.

Unfortunately instead of appreciating someone for their genuine behavior society ridicules them and judges them for being themselves.This is very prevalent among the Muslim and overall Indian community.People are respected if they dress in a certain brand ,speak a certain way and are simply able to fit in with the rest.I cannot and will not waste too much time on people who have their minds so narrowed that there isn't place for much else to settle in.If you are okay with being judgmental and base your impressions of people on shallow aspects then so be that .However this message is entirely for those that don't fit in,are always told how different they are.......

You are a breath of fresh air among all things fake and pretentious. I look forward to meeting you anywhere especially in a crowd where you don't seem to be fitting in. You are special simply because you are "you" and you aren't afraid to be real and genuine.Surround yourself with people who love you for being yourself since the worst thing you could do is change .The world needs more people who are an original copy of themselves .
