I can sense their growing cynicism.
They nudge each other and point their fingers at me.
My ears ring with their wicked laughter.
They mock and ridicule me over and over again.
Yes, I am a little weird… a little different.
So what? Isn’t it better to be a nerd than one of the herd!

An intelligent , genius or a nerd does not gel into the crowd of common people and hence ridiculed. Love your stories in so few words, Shilpa.
Why not? 🙂
I create my own herd
Wonderful take on the prompt and being different is also equally good.
Those were my exact same thoughts seeing this picture prompt. There is a different charm in being different. And in today world, being different actually plays in our favor.

So right you are! We are all unique.
Absolutely!
Ah this resonates with me so much, what matters is being oneself! Which is the toughest thing in a world thats constantly trying to make us someone else
Lovely.
Reading this post reminded me of the novel “Wonder”. Being special always invite the soul stirring stares.
Beautifully penned Shilpa.
Shilpa, as always – creative and positive!
Your thoughts are so apt for this picture. That’s exactly what struck me too. Interesting and thought provoking!
Absolutely true! Loved this!
I agree completely! 🙂
Difference should be celebrated. All fingers in the hand are not equal. They serve difference purpose. So are human beings. Nice post.
Cute story. reminds me of the quote why fit in when you were born to stand out.
Absolutely agree, Shilpa!
It’s better to be a nerd & different from the herd!
Soon, it’ll be the nerd who’ll be seen, read & heard:)
True that, Shilpa. I cannot but agree. I think we need to appreciate the difference but this has been my experience —that the more insular people are, the less tolerant they are of differences.
Yes, agree, Shilpa. If you are same or different, it shouldn’t matter. After all, every person is unique
And along with the visual
I sure enjoy your lovely words 🙂
