I see myself as an Earthbound Misfit I realized this at a very young age as I could not relate to what most people found important or interesting. I find the average person to be very predictable and boring.

I am thankful to be this vs. being a part of the unenlightened asleep masses.

I am indeed proud of my own accomplishments, especially my discerning mind. I think I'm smarter than most people, and for good reasons!

"If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter;
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself."
