To dance in the rain.

It is so tempting to be the girl who dances in the rain.  The kind of girl who wears vintage skirts and jean jackets and her mother’s perfume.  The kind of girl who everyone knows, but no one understands. 

            This is just one side of unique.  The reaches of “unique” stretch far and beyond this one image planted into our minds.  To be honest, any girl who tries to fit within this one definition of uniqueness is not unique, for she is only copying the generations of such girls before her. 

            To dance in the rain, to laugh, to be different—none of these things are bad at all.  What you do is important, yes.  But even more important are the reasons behind those actions.
