My Emotions are Idiots

I want to stand out. I want to be different. I want to be abnormal. I want to be an outlier.

My emotions, however, fight against this. They tell me to conform. They tell me to fit in. Don't go against the grain. Don't rock the boat. Go with the flow.

It may also have been nurtured by a seeming governmental mandate that is backed by the whole of society and its mores to have everyone conform to the status quo. Most people who know me usually don't use the word "normal" to describe me, so I usually overcome this stupid penchant of my emotions.

It would be quite nice though to not even have to fight the battle to overcome the stupidity of my emotions.
