''I'm not like everyone else''

But sometimes I really feel like that, sometimes in class I feel like im in a place full of androids, willing to receive anything they're told and willing to never think for themselves as they have given up on having a critical thinking process outside of the comfort of their own minds.

It sucks feelin this way cause sometimes I feel like I'm the one being egocentric and stupid, or feeling special when in reality I know my classmates are all just like me, unique, interesting, critical, with STRONG views on an infinity of topics.

But the problem is the fact that everyone wants to be a good samaritan and avoid saying stuff they really want to. And it sucks.

Now people are looking down on those who think they're not like anyone else and usually these people think should be given Nobel prizes for their ever-so repeated and plagiarized points of view and boring advice that we hear off every single time and yes, I agree with those who hate this kind of individual. Get off your high horse and stop pretending you're some kind of god or sacred figure who came from heaven to bless everyone in this god-damned earth.

No, you're not, you're just like everyone else and you need to realize that everyone has feelings and emotions like you do.

I wish my classmates were a little more assertive, though...it'd make things a little less monotone everyday.

The following drawing describes my feelings on everyone who feels like they're some kind of unique celebrity just because they have a different style than usual...

  1. Wow! This one was so intense. I liked a lot this entry, Julio and I totally agree with you. The android's part gave me chills because I've felt something similar towards this "conformity" attitude that seems to characterize our classroom (even in the worsts moments). But, don't think too much about it. Just keep proving to those who feel "superior" how wrong they are by improving yourself.

The ''thinking in English'' dilemma and English Teachers and their obsession with British accents.

English teachers always tell us that we should acquire this level where we hear our inner thoughts in English and where we even dream in English, and many classmates throughout my school years have disagreed with this thought. I find myself to be a strong supporter of this, though. As it has helped me amazingly with my own monitoring of errors and what not, my English is not 100% perfect, of course not. But I'm not afraid of being confident and saying that I think my English is astounding, I'm tired of hearing my classmates being cruel with themselves and saying that their English is garbage, it's like dude, how about you actually become proud of your level of English, and understand that nobody really cares about your level when you talk to them? Unless you're a true beginner who doesn't care about learning the language you shouldn't be worried. I'm sick and tired of the barriers people put on themselves but this is because English teachers do not make a sp...

Lookism.

Recently I watched a movie called The Neon Demon that showcases a society where people only care about you if you're good looking, it's quite gory and tragic but it has a really interesting take on this topic that people seem to ignore for the sake of being a good person. When in reality, there's nothing wrong with talking about it, and in fact, it could help people who feel insecure about themselves, if done correctly. This movie showcases the obsession of beauty as something toxic and distopic. There's even a theory called Lookism that says that if you look good people will treat you nice your entire life or at least until you lose your looks. It's like racism but ''lookism'', like being racist but not because of your race/skin but the way you look. This theory is absolute bollocks in my opinion and so many young men have created online communities where they straight up ask other men if life is even worth living because their noses have a...

Earning Money Online

This quarantine has showed me a huge opportunity on working online as people all around the world are stuck in their homes and still have to get work done or satisfy certain needs, which prompted me to expand my little proof-reading freelancer work with a few people into the site Fiverr.com So far I have earned quite a few dollars from that site and from proof-reading a variety of different works in English, it's always flattering to receive requests from people in need as I'm a second-language learner, but it's usually also second-language learners the ones who come for my help. The fun part of making money online is the realization of getting to learn how free-lancing works and how hard, but rewarding and motivating it can be. Besides that, you get to connect with others and create interesting friendships which can produce business oportunities. It's so important to realize that there's millions of people competing with you, but that there's also thou...
