I believe I’m Unique
I believe in multiplicity. I believe in the uniqueness of the individual. I believe in my strengths, my weaknesses, my flaws, and my abilities. I believe in you, and your fashionable impact on this world. I believe in the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful. Because I believe every single person is amazingly and brilliantly beautiful, nevertheless of any normally defining stereotypes of individual physical appearance.
For example, I, for one, am a lesbian. That is simply my sexual orientation; it is a part of who I am. It is part of what makes me unique. You are probably asexual, bisexual, gay, lesbian, pansexual, questioning, queer, or straight. I think that each and every one of these “labels” of sexual identity is perfectly tolerable. It is part of what makes you unique. What would be the fun in the world if everyone was the exact same? However, I wish that it was more acceptable to be different from the social norm. People look down upon me, simply because this one trait of mine isn’t the same as theirs. How does that make any sense? Just because maybe my life goals are a little different, and I don’t live up to society’s prejudices, my way of life is unacceptable? I don’t think so. And I don’t think that anyone can tell you that your way of life is wrong either.
Each of us creates our own fate out of the certain circumstances that were given to us. I am a sister, a friend, a confidant, an adventurer, and a learner. I am a twenty-one years old, Black African American, female. I am a former cheerleading captain, body trim, secretly in love, straight-A student. I like smiling, music, singing, dancing, talking, laughing, writing, and reading. I am awful at drawing, singing, and taking risks. I am a single person in the sea of bodies on the Earth that wants to make a difference. These characteristics are what make me, me. You can be black, Hispanic, Asian, skinny, athletic,
