"There's a point, around age twenty" ... "when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities."

Ummmmm.......let's see.........I recently was a bridesmaid in a wedding, and by the end of the night, I was dancing with a rubber chicken. Does that make me peculiar? (And no, I wasn't all that drunk, it just seemed like the thing to do!) I don't know that I make a "virtue" of being peculiar, I mean I don't think I intentionally meant to be that way, it just sort of happened! lol And it's waaaaay too late to try to learn how to be "normal" now!
But it doesn't bother me to be a little off the beaten path shall we say.....it doesn't seem to bother those I consider friends, and the ones it does bother, I don't consider! There, awanderingelf's own personal philosophy. (And I didn't even know I had one!!)

It didn't happen for me at 20, but.....I'm not so sure that they shine through, but they do show! I'm too damned old to care what people think of me anymore!
