Outcasts rule the world

Oscar Wilde, Kurt Cobain, Chester Bennington, Freddie Mercury, even Galileo for that matter... whats common between all of them is that they all were people who believed in their raw, unadulterated talent and they were people who never wanted to confirm, who never bowed down to mediocrity. And why should they? 
As Oscar Wilde put it, "To live is the rarest thing in the world, most people exist thats all." 
I believe that all of us are born with the same spark called life, only that as we grow, we forget to maintain that spark, try to lose ourselves in the crowd, just to fit in. Sadly, history is not created by people who fit in, but those who stand out. Who have the courage to embrace their eccentricity and who are unashamed of their queerness ( both meanings intended)
Ironically, people lose their essence in an effort to fit in, to be loved but the ones that are loved, adored and even worshipped are the ones who dont strive for it!
Finally it comes down to self belief and the courage that comes with it. So really, next time you are afraid to speak up- Just ask, What for?
As Freddie said-I always knew I was a star And now, the rest of the world seems to agree with me.
Its just a matter of time, if we dont lose the spark!
