Sometimes I think the best things in life are the things that you do differently from everyone else. Like when you prefer spending time with people half, or even twice your age, over people who might be closer to your age. When you spend your time in airports, making sure that you only are there for 1/2 an hour so that you don't have to pay. When you listen to music because you love it, even when it's ridiculous.
When you don't let what people think about you define who you are. When you break out of what people expect of you. When you let yourself make your choices. When you let God be in control. These are actions that define true bravery. The world needs more people who aren't afraid to be themselves. The amount of people, teenagers especially, that need some sort of confidence boost to be happy, and can never see anything good in themselves are living dangerous lives. People, who are truly happy, are those who find their comfort in Christ, and live their lives to glorify Him, not their peers.
The type of people who aren't afraid to spend their time doing something that might be frowned upon because it's different. Who sing at the top of their lungs whenever they can. Who attend church to worship the Lord, not to gossip, or spend their time with their friends. Who spend their time helping and comforting, not judging.
These types of people are my heroes. They're the kinds of people that I look up to. They're the true heroes. And they don't achieve things by doing what everyone else does. They do it by defying the norm.

Amen, sistah! We need more of these people, or maybe I need to work harder at becoming one. That's hard sometimes, but I think it's good to do the things that are hard for you, whatever they may be.
