For the longest time, I thought being different was something I had to hide.
Something I needed to fix, change, smooth out — just to fit in.
At school, in group photos, on social media…
I always saw what I wasn’t.
Too much of this. Not enough of that.
Never quite “right.”
But now, after growing a little, feeling more, and learning to love myself more deeply, I can say:
Being different is where my beauty lives. It’s my strength. It’s my little something extra.
💬 Sometimes you can see it — sometimes you just feel it
My difference has always been there.
Sometimes it’s visible. Sometimes it’s just… something people feel.
It’s in the way I speak. The way I feel things too deeply.
The way I often stood slightly apart.
And for years, I thought that made me wrong.
But what I’ve learned is: everyone has something that makes them different.
Most of us just spend too much time trying to hide it.
💖 What the world doesn’t teach us
We’re taught to blend in. To be liked. To follow the trend.
But no one teaches us how to truly love who we are —
Especially the parts that don’t fit the mold.
For me, it happened slowly.
Through photography. Through kind people.
Through learning to say:
“What if the thing I tried to erase… is the exact thing that makes me unforgettable?”
✨ Turning doubt into light
Being different can make you feel alone.
But it also teaches you to stand on your own,
to build your place instead of waiting to be given one,
to attract people who really see you.
Bit by bit, I started to understand:
My sensitivity is a gift.
My “flaws” tell a story.
My presence doesn’t have to shrink to make others comfortable.
🌷 My little something extra
The parts of myself I used to hide —
are now the ones people connect with the most.
My gaze. My softness.
The way I speak, pose, write, feel.
These pieces of me I once judged…
They’ve become the foundation of who I am.
Being different isn’t a weakness.
It’s a signature. A presence. A quiet kind of power.
đź’Ś What makes you different?
Come tell me on Instagram.
I believe your uniqueness deserves to be seen, loved, and celebrated.
