What makes you different?

Long story short, here I am. Being a writer. Doing things I’d always love to do. Sharing my experiences of what I learnt.

Consider a rat who never came out of the hole fearing for his life. He stayed in the dark for years and died one day, unbeknownst.

Honestly, there’s nothing that makes ‘me’ different.

What if he’d come outside?

A govt. job could do it for me. Plus Money, plus security, plus prestige.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

I know being a writer is no different. But my journey is different. Its unique to me.

Being different is being a mess, yet being okay with it.

Anxious to get a job, I chose to do what was socially recommended for me. So, I tried. Being a govt. servant. Failed. A Research Scholar. Didn’t make it. A Professor. Guess what?

Is it wrong that I picked to be a Christian (as a teenager/14-year-old) even with knowing all of the information about other religions/atheism?

He would have experienced the miracle called light. Maybe he got better food to eat. Then he got wounded. Then in search of balm, he travaled to the wilderness and found a party of rats, eaten to its heart’s content and danced the night out.

What makes you YOU.

Until the day I choose to listen to myself. I let my subconscious go wherever it wanted me to go. It was not just in dreams I wanted to live, but in real life. Not allowing others to cloud my personality, my ability, my inclination towards philosophy, knack to motivate others, and my indifference towards others’ opinions.

What are the 10 things you regret doing in your life?

You can be fearful and still use it to tame your weaknesses and build your emotional strength.

Not ignoring emotions because they can be destructive. Not underestimating your aspirations because society calls them second-rate.

Can you make it?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

You know how all of this enlightenment came to me.

What's the most valuable lesson you've learned in life, and how has it impacted your journey so far?

Not because people show it off and you have to follow the lead.

Being different is being a weirdo. And being okay about it.

Being different is being okay with failure, so you know what the dessert of a win tastes like.

How do I stop having work crushes because I only keep getting disappointed almost every day as I keep seeing they don’t like me back and won’t ever ask me out?

All of it would have been different, and this life would mean something, at least for him.

I always yearned to go for government jobs because I had a few relatives already into it and doing well with money and security. And here is me, with an arts background, uncertain about what to choose.

So, what actually makes us all different?

So, keep on experimenting.

P.S. What’s your idea of being different? Do you have a different point of view?

Do anything and everything because you like it. You love it. Do the things that make you go crazy. Things you’d barter your breath for. Things that make your life a rainbow.

You found a love potion, and your friend tried to use it on an attractive popular girl, but he accidentally dropped it on the neighbors dog. Now the dog won't stop following him. How would you help him?

Experiments: My life has been a group of experiments that failed to take off until I resorted to writing.

Indeed, a number of other factors contribute to your uniqueness, but that’s for you to introspect.

Everything has shaped me. Friends who gave me their pens and journals. Best friends I never made. Crush that made me write poems while he didn’t care. Romances I’ve missed. Opportunity to become an editor or a news correspondent I missed. I think all this has made me the writer I am.

Agree?

Become different not according to the world, but according to what you like and what you don’t.

Don’t drink because everybody does today.

Why are leftist movements so popular among young people?

Even if that means disappointing your parents and teachers for some time, but believe you’ll eventually make them feel proud.

Tried everything. A well-paying corporate job, govt. exams. Nothing provided me with security. I didn’t have time to myself. Hustling was my name. Didn’t go to parties, travel or anything. Didn’t talk to friends.

I've never read the book. What did Dorian Grey do that was so immoral and sinful?

If you’ve read this far, let me tell you one more thing.

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

I experimented. A lot. And now I know I don't need more trials of this kind. I’m writing this today at just the right place from the comfort of my home while it rains outside. While a cold breeze rings music to my senses.

Can bosses get fired for being too hard on employees?

Don’t choose to be an engineer just because it pays well.

To take out these experiments, accept the asymmetry of your emotions, your eccentricities, aspirations and thoughts for what they actually are. Instead of filtering it through the social system, recognize the difference and apply it in your life.

Otherwise, thank you for reading. It was fun writing to you all. Hope it helped you in more ways than one.

C’mon, it’s an opportunity to break the rules, stand out and become ONE of a kind.

Experiences: What has happened to me? Have I led a normal life with two parents and two siblings? Yes. Breakups I’ve had. Friends I’ve made. School I have attended. Guides I’ve met. Places I’ve been.

Without experiments, is life worth it.

Neither I’m Tesla, who got poor grades in school, nor I’ve grown to invent electric current that powers many electronic devices today. Nor I’m an entrepreneur who is the idea behind the Tesla cars.

I am an ordinary human being with the same body structure as you who are reading, you and I have the same material of what our bodies and brains are made up of.

I have always wanted to write things. Wrote poetry during my grad and reluctantly left it for preparation of a govt. exam because who’s got extra time for it.

Don’t go to the gym because it’s a fitness fad.

Don’t get a partner because you’re jealous of your friends.
