Individualism


 * There are many dfiferent ideals and aspects that I believe make me an individual. To start off, the most obvious things make me an individual, like my appearance. No one person on this Earth looks exactly the same, unless they are twins of some sort, but besides that people may look similar but not exactly the same. It’s physically impossible for that to happen so by default someone’s appearance makes them an individual, so that’s why I say my appearance makes me an individual all by itself. I would go on to say my name does that too but it is much easier to have the same name than look the same. Another thing that I believe makes me an individual is the music I listen to. I have a pretty diverse range of music then most people would expect. I listen to stuff from metal to jazz and a bunch of stuff in between. Also, I’m open to trying to listen to different music that I’ve never heard before no matter the genre and giving it a chance before I have an opinion. I don’t particularly enjoy the current music on the radio and that is popular today either, which I think is something very different and makes me an individual because it’s the popular music everyone is listening to today and you would expect me to like it and I don’t. I think what also makes me an individual is acting mature. I’ve found that in certain situations I act more mature then some of the people around me, for example, I guess you could say I avoid doing stupid things that people think are fun at the time but could get you hurt or in a lot of trouble. Or in any situation I try to go upon it in the mature way, not saying I don’t like to have fun or act immature sometimes because I do, I just most of the time take things in a more mature perspective than immature. I think being mature has to do with another thing I think makes me an individual and that is I have an extremely guilty conscious. I don’t know why but I’ve always had a guilty conscious, so when I do something wrong or disrespectful, even the smallest thing I feel really bad about it, or if I disrespect someone’s rules. I’ve always been that way and that may be why I try to be mature in situations. Along with those two attributes I take things to heart too. If someone is disappointed in me for something I take that to heart and it bothers me, or if something someone said bothers me I take that to heart too. That’s another thing that I think makes me an individual because it makes me have the desire to not disappoint anyone or be rude to them, which some people are fine with doing but I can’t deal with. Another aspect that makes me an individual is that I don’t follow any kind of sports, I never have, and I tried but I never found them interesting to follow. I think that makes me an individual because so many people follow sports and it’s different for me to not follow them at all. I also think that my attempt to reach my dreams and goals in life makes me an individual. Everyone has a dream they want to accomplish but most people give up on them and think that they’ll never logically happen and it’s not worth it. I think that if someone has a dream they should go for it and try their hardest to achieve it. I think anything is possible if you try hard enough to make it happen. These are some of the aspects and ideals that I truly believe make me an individual. **
