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.

So, keep on experimenting.

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

Take my word. You won’t regret it.

My parents force me (15yo atheist) to go to church, and there’s this thing called Small Sundays where we discuss the Bible in groups, there are questions asked about the Bible. What am I supposed to do when they ask?

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

Why am I so triggered and depressed over a minor thing?

Yes, I was not at all happy.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

My dog is 2 weeks old. He's not eating, moving and always sleeping and I can't take him to a vet. What should I do?

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.

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

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

UK has fingers in its ears over Trump’s defense threat - politico.eu

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.

Without experiments, is life worth it.
