3 Things Free Spirits Do Differently Than Others

They know how easy it is to get trampled on walking with the herd

You won’t find a free-spirited person mingling with the crowd or walking amidst the herd. You will catch them standing outside of the crowd. You’ll find them watching the herd. They know how easy it is to get lost in the crowd. They've seen how easy it is to get trampled on by the herd.

Their rightful place is outside. Outside of the crowd. Out from the herd. Outside of the room. Out in nature. Outside of the box.

When they’re outside, they can breathe better. They can observe better. They can help those who need help. They can be free to go where they want but others will not understand it.

A free spirit will not conform to the expectations of other people. They won’t do what others want them to. The decisions they make will not follow what other people usually do.

Society will probably think they’re weird, but they see absolutely nothing wrong with the term. It’s their weirdness that makes them cool.

They’re eccentric and unconventional. They don’t live by the rules of society or go down the path everyone takes. They do what they want when they want to and go where they want when they want to.

This is not because they’re rebels or renegades, but rather because they are their own people. They’re sufficient for themselves even if society rejects them.

They reject societal norms and popular opinions. They reject silly trends because following trends means they’re not really free to do their own thing. Their own thing is what they do best.

They create their own rules and go down the path less traveled. Then they create new paths for others to walk in.

They don’t follow trends, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like trends. They love trends so much that they set them.

Free spirits are the trend-setters and the way-showers. They’re the ones paving ways where there was no way.
