atribute to all the losers up there
five or six years ago I had many groups of friends, each with their own mindset, sense of style, definition of what's cool and what's not, what's wrong and what's right, what is fun..etc.
I used to try so hard to belong to each of these groups , to fit in only to realize that I was just a little bit different.
Yes, they are all my friends. Yes , I have a lot in common with them.
But there was just something missing.
I always felt like something was missing, no one understood what I felt, what I want ...etc. I made it a point to prove I was different than everyone I met.
after those five or six years, I had less groups of friends, again, each with their own everything. I refused to admit I belonged to any particular one, but naturally, I found myself at ease with everyone.
I believed in the concept of "one", that we are all the same, no matter how much we claimed otherwise.
I made it a point whenever people would say that I was every other person.
When people would say that I changed, or that I was so unique, I'd argue so hard to prove that no, I'm not, I'm just like you...
whoever you are, whatever you are.
And I was comfortable with this belief for a while.
Then a while after, when I started to doubt and re-question everything.
I questioned my own self.. was I the same as everyone else or was I unique and different.
Then I came to the comfortable realization that "I am unique, so is everyone else", which although satisfying as a theory, doesn't really work in real life, because we all struggle to belong somewhere.. anywhere.

Wow, I liked that, I went through similar experience recently and found the movie "Ambition to Meaning" a good material to dive deeply in who we are and our relationships with people.
