All The Same Humans

     "Admit it. Your aren't like them. You are not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe eat the same fast foods. But it seems the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the "normal people" as they go about their automatic exsistances. For every time you say everyday phrases like "Have a nice day" and Weather's awful today, eh?", you yearn inside to say forbidden things like "Tell me something you've never told anyone else" or "What makes you upset?". Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator is thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the other."

-Timothy Leary

Some of the friends I made when I went to Europe in the London Eye.

     I absolutely love that quote! It to me, means that we try to wear and do the same thing just so we can fit in with the people we want to. We do this to try to make a typical conversation with people but what we really want to ask them what deep down in their heart. We want to know their quirks and crannies. But the problem is we just don't have the confidence. Confidence is important to have in this world we live in today! You need it to get jobs and opportunities, it helps when you are acting something out or presenting something in front of an audience. You could say confidence is the key to success. You need confidence to talk to that girl in the elevator, to make a new friend, who maybe wants to talk to you too! If you never take that chance, you may never know the outcome. So why not right? You have nothing to loose.
     We are not so different from the person stand next to you in the elevator, or walking past you on the street, we are not so different from those runway models, or superstars. We are all the same humans, just raised from different environments, brought up with different beliefs and mindsets. , and we all have those awkward moments, and those bad hair days, just be real with yourself and others and they will find that unique.
Everyone is the same on the inside
     If there is anything I have learned, it is that if you want to talk to someone, talk to them. Go out on a limb. Do not wait for them to talk first because, odds are they are waiting for that same thing.
