What makes you different; makes you, YOU.

"Two roads diverged in a wood and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference." Robert Frost (1874-1963)

This was taken from the popular poem by Robert Frost, "The Road Not Taken", 1920.  It's popularity most likely resonates with many of us, it's theme that we must follow our own path in life regardless of what others say, think or do.  Sadly, while we advocate such a freedom to revel in our own interests, skills and passions, we still fail to truly emancipate ourselves from following what is common to our society.  We not only fail ourselves when we follow the lead of others for whom we do not truly believe, but we fail those whom we love when we fear change and choices that may seem different or wrong to those who look for conformity as a means of control and self validation.
