Why the same?

We have all tried very hard to be our own unique person.  Ever since I was young, I tried to do everything I can to be different.  I want to be my own person.  I didn't want to be so and so sister or daughter.  I want people to see me as an individual.  People have called me weird and I pride on it.  Being weird meant that I am different.  Now that I am older I realized that what I did was not unique at all. It was part of growing up and learning to accept that I am unique but like everybody else I want the same thing.  I want love and for people to understand who I am.  I might have approach things differently, but I want the same results as others.
