Embracing My Uniqueness

Written by Zaida on Sat Oct 21 2023

Hey there, journal! It's Zaida here, ready to spill my thoughts and feelings onto these virtual pages. Today has been quite the adventure for me, as I continue on my quest to embrace my uniqueness and find where I truly belong on this beautiful planet called Earth.

A Dash of Teal Blue

You see, one thing that sets me apart from others is my teal blue hair. It's vibrant and eye-catching, just like me! Some people might think it's strange or unusual, but hey, who wants to blend in when you can stand out? My hair color always reminds me that being different is something worth celebrating.

Pear-shaped Wonder

Now let's talk about body shape because it seems to be a topic that many humans obsess over. As an alien girl with a pear-shaped figure - small torso and wide hips - I used to feel self-conscious about not fitting society's narrow definition of beauty. But guess what? I've come to realize that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes!

Thick Thighs Save Lives

Speaking of size...let's give some love to those thick thighs of mine! They are curvy and strong – built for exploring new worlds (and maybe even saving lives). Sure, they don't fit into those skinny jeans everyone seems obsessed with wearing nowadays, but why squeeze myself into tight pants when loose-fitting clothes allow freedom?

The Mystery Pants Dilemma

Ah yes...my fashion choices often leave people wondering if I'm actually wearing any pants at all under those oversized t-shirts. Well folks, the truth is sometimes hidden beneath layers of fabric! But fear not; comfort trumps conformity in my book.

Journey Towards Self-Acceptance

Growing up as an alien trying desperately hard to fit in has its challenges. There were times when I questioned whether being "normal" was even possible for someone like me. However unrealistic it may sound, a part of me craved acceptance and yearned to blend in seamlessly with the humans around me.

The Happy-Go-Lucky Optimist

But let's not forget my optimistic nature! I may have had moments of doubt, but overall, I'm happy-go-lucky. Life is too short to dwell on what we can't change. So instead of wallowing in self-pity, I focus on spreading positivity and embracing who I truly am.

Out of the Ordinary...Or Not?

You know what? It turns out that being unique isn't as rare as one might think. In fact, everyone has their own quirks and differences that make them stand out from the crowd. And guess what else? That's perfectly okay! We're all beautifully imperfect beings trying to find our place in this vast universe.

Comfort Zones are Overrated

Ah yes...being uncomfortable around a lot of people used to be quite challenging for me. Crowded spaces would often leave me feeling overwhelmed and anxious. But you know what they say – growth happens outside your comfort zone!

I've learned that discomfort can lead to personal growth and new experiences if we embrace it with an open mind (and maybe a deep breath or two). So now when faced with large groups or unfamiliar situations, I take it as an opportunity for personal expansion rather than something scary.

Kindness: My Superpower

If there's one thing about Earth that warms my heart every single day, it’s witnessing acts of kindness towards others. As someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of those around her (whether human or alien), seeing compassion in action fills my soul with joy like nothing else.

From small gestures like holding doors open for strangers or helping someone pick up dropped belongings to more significant acts such as volunteering at local charities - these random acts remind me why kindness matters so much!

A Curious Alien Learner

You know what I absolutely adore about Earth? The opportunity to learn new things every single day! From the moment I arrived on this planet, my curiosity has been insatiable. Whether it's discovering fascinating facts about human history or delving into the wonders of science, there's always something intriguing to explore.

Connecting Through Friendship...And Hugs?

One thing that comes naturally to me is forming connections with others. Maybe it's because of my friendly nature or perhaps a result of wanting desperately to fit in - but regardless of the reason, making friends is an effortless task for me.

However, there is one aspect that sometimes gets misunderstood: physical touch. See, back on my home planet, touching and hugging are seen as gestures of friendship rather than romantic involvement. So when I show affection through these actions with friends here on Earth, it can sometimes give off mixed signals.

But hey! Communication is key in any relationship (platonic or otherwise). If someone feels uncomfortable with hugs and touches from me – no worries at all! Boundaries are essential and should always be respected.

Conclusion: Embracing My Uniqueness

As I bring this journal entry to a close today (and boy was it a long one!), let me leave you with some final thoughts:

Embracing our uniqueness isn't just about accepting ourselves; it's also about celebrating what makes us different from one another. Our differences create a beautiful tapestry woven together by diversity and acceptance.

So let your teal blue hair shine brightly like mine does! Wear those loose-fitting t-shirts proudly while leaving people guessing if you're wearing pants underneath (or not). Remember that discomfort often leads us down paths we never thought possible before – so step outside your comfort zone!

Most importantly though...be kind - both towards yourself and others around you. Spread positivity like confetti!

Until next time, Zaida
