It’s been a while since I’ve written anything based on the Daily Prompts. So I thought it’s about time to check today’s word. Outlier. “I have no idea what that means!” that’s what I thought and that is the truth. English isn’t my native language so nobody can blame me for not knowing a word that doesn’t exist in the 3 dictionaries I own!
Anyways, I looked it up online and imagine my surprise when I finally learned that outlier actually describes me quite accurately.
I’m currently living the whole detachment from society thing. It started with me having a loner type character and a whole different set of interests than the people in my circles. I isolated myself, put everything I have in what I love doing until before I knew it I’m off the board, off the loop and off the map.
I was fine with it for some time until I realized that it wasn’t good for me. I think I talked about this in previous posts. I still don’t mind being an outlier; to my understanding of the term, I think i’m still an outlier but I’m working on changing that.
This blog and these types of posts are in fact part of me trying to change. I know my writing sucks and sometimes quite depressing but it helps me.
speaking of depressing, here’s a depressing self-portrait portraying the outlier within (or rather, without)!
You weren’t alone in looking it up; and It’s my native language! I guess if nothing else, I am adding to my vocabulary with these “out there” prompts! 😃😃

yeah, I guess I should follow the daily prompts more often to expand my vocab!

I make a point of looking up the DP quite often. I’m surprised how regularly my understanding of a word is stunted. This has been a great exercise in shoring up my stale vocabulary.

if your stellar vocabulary is stale, then my vocabulary is nonexistent!
