Whatever I say, whatever I do, I feel like everyone is covering their eyes and ears to my words and thoughts. Why do people keep doing this? I feel that I am misunderstood. Maybe I belong to some other kind of human - The weird kind. But the ones that say that being weird is a bad thing, are the ones who try to escape from their true nature- their weird nature- and just run away. But I like to be weird, because I can see the world in a different manner than them. I am ignored by many, but I am also understood by some. Even if they are few, they understand me and see the world like I also see. This is why I will never stop being who I am because one of the wrong things with todayôs society is the lack of originality. I like to be original. I like to be weird. I donôt like to be just another copy of someone else. And if originality requires almost complete loneliness it's because itôs not you who need to change, but yes, the people around you.” [Joana L](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/joana-l/) ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
