The Difference is the Same

I, like every other girl, like to believe that I am different,but that in itself seems to make me just like the rest.

The problem is that I want to be the girl that stops a man's heart, making me the only woman the he will ever love, but in order for that to happen I need to be entirely unique. That said, I also want to know that I am not weird, or a freak or even worse, unlovable!

So where is the line? At which point do I cross over from being unique and mysterious, to someone who should be in a straight jacket? And once I've decided on the optimum level of unique-ness, how do I become that?

When I was younger I thought that girls with tattoos and piercings and an 'emo' haircut were unique because in the area I grew up in it was. But if you Google 'emo haircuts' you'll find a billion pictures of girls with no tan, black hair and piercings literally up to their eyeballs who listen to emo music and write depressing poems about death.

So... Not unique then?

And this goes for every other group of people that claims to be unique because that in itself is a stereotype. So what then is the game plan? What is the one thing that will make me uniquely irresistible?

Well, the truth is that you won't find the answer on Google. You'll find it in Terrace at two o'clock in the morning when you are drunkenly singing pianoman, when you're desperately trying to find a closet in Game to hide in when you awkwardly bump into your ex-boyfriend when you're clearly having a bad face day, or when you're in the bib (library) trying with all your might to cram an entire semester's worth of work into your brain when you are clearly meant to fail... Just like everybody else.
