What is it that you do differently

I take my baths late night specially during the summers. I remember once it was 3 am and the last time it was around 1 am when my landlady came up to check out if all was okay with me. Then, my sleeping hours are completely odd. I sleep most of the day and work late nights. have been doing this way since I was in college and so I think today, it is a part of my life - and nothing that special for me. But then, when I find others telling me that I should change my habits, I find it difficult.

i do everything different from the way i was taught. my parents, school and society tells me to work in the day and sleep at night. i sleep at night and work in the day. lol. my parents taught me that it was important for me to get into a high profession or on the corporate ladder. i am a stay at home mom. i could go on and on, but i don't think that i am anything like my parents, school, the military, or society taught me to be.

I didn't like following my parents' religion and I questioned it when I was really young but not without following it first. I wouldn't determine what truth was right for me if I wasn't a follower, that way I could examine both sides having experienced being a follower and not a follower. What people call my being picky with guys was only because of my own discriminating taste so as not to be taken advantage by the wrong ones. I have few groups of close friends and I can be an introvert in one group and be talkative in another group.

Oh gosh..what don't I do differently? I suppose I may have been considered a bit of the black sheep in the family but in the same sense the elders in my family loved me for that trait. Now there are more non elders than elders and that did pose quite a problem for me. After the elders passed..I left the family and became my own. I only stayed for them and they knew that. I do carry some things with me but there are alot of things that I have done very differently.

I guess the one different thing that I do, compared to other women my age is that I don't go to the hair salons and spend money to have a beautiful hair. Almost all the women I know do that. When you walk on the street almost every woman have rebonded or straingtened and colored hair. My hair is virgin, and so far I don't have plans to have it that way. I don't have a beautiful hair, I'm okay with my hair, and I guess that's the thing that I do differently

Not me, it's my husband. He eats rice mixed with ketchup, garlic sauce and honey. In the morning he's eating bread with piece of meat mixed with jam or honey and cheese or magarine or butter, really weird taste. I've never met someone who's mixing and eating foods like he does and finds it delicious.

My spontaneous reaction to this topic was that I don’t do anything different and though I do not follow fashion or look at others for my behavioral pattern or even attitude or reaction, on second thoughts I feel I think differently. I am good in lateral thinking on an issue and quick resourcefulness. People at home say that I bring a new dimension and am quick in solving some difficult issue.

I'm sure you've already conjured up thoughts of; "how off the beaten path, that weirdo is!"...LOL! Some days my drum just beats differently and I don't subscribe to the norm! I do confine my somewhat "swimming upstream" to times alone! Life can be a little more interesting when you go against the flow and that truly is a blessing of being solitary. For the many years of my marraige, I was the epitome of the "good-wife!" Now, I eat when I am hungry...not conventional breakfast, lunch and dinner, like a wild animal--when I am hungry! I sleep when I am tired, sometimes under the shade of a tree, I do NOT follow fashion, nor do I wear make-up daily..nor is there anything in my demeanor that makes me trendy! And mostly, I think I love and have more compassion for animals, that humans.

I use to have a schedule until I left my work, now I get up at whatever time I feel and go to sleep later... I also have all this FREE time which is great to do all the activities that I enjoy .... I never did that before when I had a job.

Each one is quite unique or different in some ways, that's makes us who we are, a personality that defines of what others would think about, but it's more relevant of what you think of yourself most probably, lol! The fact that indifference may seem to be normal to some and sort of not standard to some.

That's good I like the way you trained yourself. It is only mean that you have a strong personality. keep it up. welcome to the club.
