My theme is “The ordinary & the uncommon”. I’ll try to show you that usually, we’ve considered that the “normal” was the “right”, and, sometimes, you just need to let your hair down and live. Because these “different things” make you unique, especial.

 Lately, I’ve been noticing that we are expected to act as society says, to fill the profile. But shouldn’t we decide what we want to do with our lives? Why are we looking for somebody’s dream when we have ours? In fact, we don’t even know what is our dream, because we’ve grown up with millions of “advices” and expectations, which fill our minds with ideas and fake meanings of what life is about.

Since we were born, we’ve learned how to interact with people. This simple fact is considered, in science, as a human’s characteristic. Some of these scientists even consider it as an essential way of living. But how far is this necessity? We can’t forget the world that’s around us, we need to live on it. However, we also have to remind our world, which is kept on our hearts and minds.

I’ve always heard which careers were more respected, which had a higher salary, which I should follow. I’ve also learned how money is so needed on our lives, how we need it, and how impossible life gets when we don’t have it. I wonder if someday I’ll be able to think and plan my life without money, I guess it’s now impossible. Money, nowadays, is like a brick, essential to build our homes.

The worst wars were caused because people couldn’t respect and live with others who were different from us, even when some were a whole group, like the Nazis and the Jews. We need to tolerate and learn with the differences, we mustn’t condemn it.

 It’s funny how things get easier with your friends, because you can always count on them, you will always have a shoulder to cry on. But now, imagine who needs to get throw all the pain of been excluded by his own. Our minds are influenced and trained to follow the strongest group. Thankfully, our heart guides us to other direction, the one that’s full of joy and laughs. Never forget, that you might now be majority, but tomorrow you can be minority.

I consider dreams as our perfect worlds, where we can be whatever we want and built our own histories. There, trees can fly and the clouds dance with the stars. The sky isn’t that high, it’s possible to feel it’s softness. We can forget the problems, let the bad feelings go and rest.

Our days get so busy that we forget our dreams, our worlds. We concentrate in this world, considered the real one, and get intoxicated with it’s bad traffic of emotions. I’ve heard this phrase once: “Stuck somewhere between my dreams and reality”. That’s exactly where I am.

People may let you down, and you may get really sad. Just remember that you were made this way, you’re special. The ways you’ve chosen to follow may not be usual, but they are yours and, just like you, are unique. Replace this tears you drop for smiles, they can warm your heart and become good friends.

Doesn’t mind your colour, your weight, your gift, your career or whatever. You are just like everybody else: human. However, you’re also unique, you’re you. And no word can describe this complexity. Just like a rare flower, you’re precious, but you still a flower.
