For Thursday, March 21: You aren't that different

Everybody is identical in their secret unspoken belief that way deep down they are different from everyone else. David Foster Wallace

I think today's quote is interesting.  I think it is true and I find that interesting...and disturbing.  :)  Perhaps because we all grew up learning from loved ones that we are different from others.  But a funny thing has happened as we have grown up.  We have found out through life experience, maturity, interactions, etc that we aren't really all that different from others, right?  And what a disappointment, right?  Well we are going to have to get over it.  I know that's harsh but it's the reality. 
We aren't different from each other but we are all unique in our own ways.  Be okay with that.  Just because you aren't different doesn't mean you are not special.  Develop your unique qualities and accept that you are just like everyone else in other ways, you aren't that different.  Once you accept that the unique parts of you will shine.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
