Because you were created to be unique. Your flaws define you and mold you the way you are now. If everyone was the same, the world would be cliche. You're special and perfect in unusual ways.

Well, technically, you are just like others. The differences are small and non important. I think that you aren't born special, you make it so by the way you live.

One of the most difficult thing I went through in life was finding out someone close to me had cancer. I became very depressed and didn't know how I would live without them. I even took two years off of school to help this person out. They are still today struggling, not with cancer, but with other things in their health life. I got my life back on track, even though I'd love to stay with them all day. It terrifies me that I will get a call at school or work one day saying this person is no longer with us. The anxiety of this really bothers you after awhile. However sometimes you just have to think of something positive, even if it seems impossible.

becaus ei can only be 100% myself. anything beyond that is a masked image of someone else. It is so much easer and HEALTHIER to fulfill my own path

Because every single person in this world is different. Don't be sad about it. You are a great person in your own way.

What's the meaning of "be just like others"? You are who you are exactly for a reason and are your little flaws and everything on you who makes you, you. The term normal doesn't exist, there isn't someone absolutely normal because perfection doesn't exist.
