Friends?

Do you feel like you don't belong with the crowd of people you're mingling with, often? Do you want to undo the things you did just for the sake of your "friends"? Guess what, you're not alone.

Welcome, The Earthian here.

Sometimes in life, we just start mingling with people and start getting comfortable. We just do it. Do it because we have the inner need to not be alone. We feel like we always need company, good or bad. After all, what's the worst thing that could happen?

Well let me tell you, if you're someone who's dying to be extraordinary, mark the word "extraordinary", being with ordinary people isn't going to help you. It's only going to take you down to their level, also known as the "ordinary" level. This happens because of the simple fact that they don't have the same spirit you have in your heart. The same passion, the same courage and the same tenacity that you carry within yourself. Being ordinary is being like everyone, following the "rules" to be successful. Being extraordinary is doing what your ultimate conscience tells you to. Keep in mind, your conscience always knows what's right and what's not.
Just have the courage to say "no" at the right times. If people can't accept you for your true opinion, too bad.

Point to be noted: I'm not asking you to be rude. Always be polite. Be a nice person to hang out with.

An original, true friend with the same drive, passion and heart will always understand your opinions.
I may not have the most number of friends but the ones I do have are worthy. Quantity < Quality. Recognize.

Peace.
