Feeling Different But Knowing I'm Still Unique

Hi, Good Morning!

I always knew I was different than other people. When I was little I was really extroverted but the older I became the more introverted I became. I knew I was different than other kids my age back then because I'm the youngest of 5, my oldest sibling is 16 years older than me and I never liked other kids that were my age. I always felt like I stood out amongst the crowd, a black sheep. I'm 26 (female) now and I've also always had an emo/alternative vibe and overall style once I became old enough. I still do and sometimes I think it's really cool to express myself in this way because I've always been drawn to the darkness. Then sometimes I feel like maybe it's not that I was ever drawn to it, maybe I AM the darkness. One of my favorite quotes though, and it's by Brandon Lee as Eric Draven in the 1994 film The Crow, is "It can't rain all the time."
