Different directions

When we are little kids we think we can do everything and when we grew up we are going to have everything, our mind thinks that everything can be done and we can have all and that life is like we saw it in the movies, it starts well then a problem appears but finally the problem fix and now everything is well once again.  However that is the mind of a little kid and I think that is the most beautiful stage where we discover the world and learn a lot of different things, we start walking and finally we learn maths, it´s a stage that is full of new experiences where failing is okey, the only thing that can happen is a punishment from our parents that in a few minutes we forgot it and everything is calm once again. This stage is when you discover the world and how amazing it is and we realize that we are just little ants that are missing to discover a lot of things.

Suddenly the adolescence comes, this stage where we are nothing, we aren´t adults but we aren´t kids, is like a sandwich where we are in the middle but we are covered by both parts, the one of the top and the one of the bottom and that if they are not removed we can´t see clearly what is in the middle part. They say that adolescence is a beautiful stage where we have to enjoy everything because when it passes we can´t be children again, that is real but what happens when you are different from the others? When you don´t like drinking or smoking, when you still want to be a kid and don´t want  to grow up faster, when you don´t want  to leave your home to be an adult, while being a girl you don´t like bows ,dresses, skirts or make up because you panic (not because you don´t like it but because you feel that you are growing up and becoming a woman), when you don´t like trending, when you hate ordinary stuff, when you daydream all the time about what you want to be, when you aren´t ashamed of your parents, when you still want to play with your brother, when you still have the mind of a kid but at the same time you are mature in some aspects, when you like school and you get good grades, when you don´t speak to much but you do it because you don´t like what others talk about, when you still like animated movies, when you are not interested of being all day long in the cell phone, when you only use the social networks a little because you prefer to learn something new, when you are intelligent and you love talking about life topics, when you hate criticizing and only seeing the non-important things, when you don´t care about the brand of the clothes you wear, when you see people with your heart not only with your eyes, when you have music preferences totally different form your friends, when you prefer to write and read instead of shopping , when your only concern is to be better every day, when you pay attention to your teachers, when is easier to talk with children or adults but not with teenagers, when you don´t love the most famous artists, when you don´t laugh of someone because you prefer to value him or her, when you don´t enjoy hurting other people, when you really listen to others even though they don´t listen to you, when you don´t judge, when you hate selfish people, when you always go in a different direction from others,. What happens when you are like these? Well you are rejected, everyone rejects you, just because you are different, they judge you and they think that you are bored and weird. Of course adults and children appreciate you but the teenagers specially the ones of your school they see you like that, like a roach that is different from them, because they want you to be like them. They want to influence you and attract you to their world and if you don´t do it you are rejected. It is always like this with someone different, but what a different person needs to do to be accepted? Of course that being different is cool because you feel you have something special that not everyone has; however sometimes you feel alone and would like to have a real and crazy friend to talk with like everyone has.

Nevertheless I heard that the important thing is to be a star person, you may ask what a star person is, well a star person is that person that you will always see in the sky shining, the one who see the people with the heart not only with the eyes, the one that always helps the others without receiving something back, the one that doesn´t like to always have attention, the one that trough little actions becomes someone important and that doesn´t lose its bright because of comet people, namely, that people that only shine a few moments, we saw them pass in our life briefly that after a few years you forgot, meanwhile the star persons leave a mark  on you in some way.

So I realize that being different from the others can transform you in a star person making little actions that help others and that makes you to be recognized for something real not just for a moment, that is what I called the purpose of life, to leave a mark on people no matter your differences.

“Don´t live to make your presence known, but that your absence feels.”
