I Have Always Been Unique

When I was born, my parents always told me that I broke the mold, because I was a one of a kind and that there would never be another person just like me.  I always thought of this as a good thing and I never wanted to be like anyone else.  I enjoyed being authentic, a genuine bona fide person, and this allowed me to do my own thing.  I have always been able to stand out in the crowd because of the confidence I gained while I transpired to handle many different circumstances.  I can proceed, act, or do things in the manner that I choose or desire and I enjoy being distinct, separate and different from others.  Most people have never encountered anyone like me before, because I am special in my own way and if anyone calls me unique, I take that as a compliment.  I try to stay true to myself at all times, resisting the temptation to become fake, as I keep it real.  My unique personality has allowed me to let the let the Sun shine in and shutter out the darkness and despair, keeping negative things from getting into my life.
