Everyone wants to be different. Everybody believes that they will be the exception to the rule. Emotions will tell you that it’s right, even if it’s wrong. Everyone wants to be different. Some people even believe they are. You can look different, and act different, but there is always someone else longing to be different. Difference is the norm if everyone wants to be it, and insanity is sane if everyone is crazy.

The author's comments:
I think that a lot of people feel like they are different than others, and I think that creative people like the people on here feel it the most. But when you look at all of those who think that they are different than everyone else, the differences blend together, and you're simply the same. The real question here would be, is it so bad to have someone who is like you? Someone who is different could never be sympathetic, and no one wants to be alone.
