DEFY IT

Usually, when people are asked what they want (in life),they probably "boot" for a while, and probably end up going: "shrug ionno".

I think what everyone wants whether they know it or not, is peace, love and happiness (any combination of these three is just fine).With more emphasis on the last one tho.

Now its the things that get us there that differ. Obviously, the things that satisfy me aren't the things that satisfy you.

"Man, know thyself". This is one "saying" I like to use a lot and I think its self explanatory. Know yourself, be comfortable in your own skin,dont struggle to do what others have grace to do; find yours.

The things a good novel, a comfortable couch and a bowl of hot amala (gbono feli feli) would do for me on a friday night, I doubt any clubbing session can achieve. But hey that's me!

What I'm trying to say is, heyy you're a beautiful, unique creation of God and there just has to be something special about you. Trust me you don't need to kill yourself about not "fitting in". It's not like I'm saying you shouldn't interact with people appropriately. Thing is,don't do that to the detriment of your SELF. Yeah, you have a "self". Don't kill that "unique specimen" (you) with your fears and feelings of inferiority complex bla bla.

Besides, what people think of as the 'standard' in any place is made up of people's opinions(basically). Why not just stick with your own opinion and you never know, people might actually tend towards it.

BOTTOMLINE:THINK OUTTA THE BOX; DEFY THE "NORM".
