Being different from everyone around you carries a quiet fear — that you’re doing it wrong, that you’ve lost the comfort of doing things in numbers. Innocent’s answer is to loosen that fear’s grip. “There is no need to feel out of place. Just be yourself and live life, because no one knows with surety what we are doing here on Earth.”

Holding a view that isn’t the popular one can feel like being wrong. It isn’t — not if it’s honestly yours. Opinions aren’t meant to match; a world where they all did would be a dull one.

Nobody has the certainty everyone seems to be performing. In the confusion, we simply live and exist — so you may as well do it as yourself.
