“When you're socially awkward, you're isolated more than usual, and when you're isolated more than usual, your creativity is less compromised by what has already been said and done. All your hope in life starts to depend on your craft, so you try to perfect it. One reason I stay isolated more than the average person is to keep my creativity as fierce as possible. Being the odd one out may have its temporary disadvantages, but more importantly, it has its permanent advantages.” WritingTryingMayPersonsSaidReasonDonePerfectCreativityDependsAdvantageAverageCraftsPermanentOddTemporaryUsualIsolatedFierceAwkwardIntrovertDisadvantagesAverage PersonSaid And DoneIntroversionSocially AwkwardAdvantages And DisadvantagesHopes In LifeOdd One Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy

“However small we are, we should always fight for what we believe to be right. And I don’t mean fight with the power of our fists or the power of our swords…I mean the power of our brains and our thoughts and our dreams. And as small and quiet and unimportant as our fighting may look, perhaps we might all work together…and break out of the prisons of our own making. Perhaps we might be able to keep this fierce and beautiful world of ours as free for all of us as it seemed to be on that blue afternoon of my childhood.” WorldShouldBelieveLooksMayMeanDreamMightAbleTogetherBeautifulFightingBrainBreakChildhoodQuietBluePrisonWorking TogetherAfternoonFierceOur ThoughtsOur DreamsFistsUnimportantBreak OutBeautiful World Author:Cressida Cowell
