I've never been the blending in type.
Ever since I was very young, there was always an innate sense in me that made me want to display a clear difference between me and anyone else - even if we were doing the same thing.

Just remember: You can't stand out and blend in at the same time. [shareable cite="@DreAllDay"]You can't stand out and blend in at the same time.
