Where do I belong in life's giant bag of skittles?

Howdy! (That might be the first time I ever say that in a blog... Maybe...)

Have you ever looked at yourself in a mirror & thought: Hmm which skittle am I?

What!?!?!? You haven't!?!?!? Well then you must be quite at peace with yourself... Or I'm just completely bonkers - Which is quite possible.

I'm sure you've noticed, as I have many times, that there are many different colours/flavours of skittles. I'm talking about the lovely normal bag of skittles you get (not all those sour tasting things that make people like me go craaazzzzzzzzzy)

Let me remind you that we have:

Orange colour - Orange Flavour
Purple colour - Blackcurrent Flavour
Yellow colour - Lemon Flavour
Green colour - Lime Flavour
Red colour - Strawberry Flavour

I recently went on this rubbish quiz website where it tells you which skittle you are & why:

Green - ur bold and dont really mix well with ur oppsite. ur out spooken and people remeber you after u meet!
Red - Ur the best. u make the darn bag and everyone LOVES u. Ur the reason  y people open the bag.
Purple - u r sweet but sometimes to sweet people like u but somrtimes ur over looked
Yellow - U are different and some people may dislike u but r Ur own person
Orange - Ur awesome! people really like you and u don't make the bag but Ur sure are popular.

Now looking at those I thought 3 things:

1.) Oh my my my that person is baaaaad at spelling and grammar (then again my grammar is fairly poor!)
2.) I disagree with them completely.
3.)Those answers kind of ruin where I was heading with this rant about skittles...

NEVERMIND!!! I shall continue on!

In life, like skittles, there are different groups of people... E.g. Drunks, Nerds, Christians, Goths etc etc. (Yes I'm aware there are a million or so more types but do you really want me to list them all? I didn't think so!)

Now... time for me to get even further to the point...

There are those of us who don't know where we belong... We could be Christian or Nerd but don't feel like we fit in... As though we don't belong in that group... That we're outcast and feel as though no one will accept us or understand us...

In other words... we're that blue skittle we very rarely get in a pack. The odd one out.

But one must wonder... who doesn't love that blue skittle? If we find that odd colour in a pack, what do we do with it? Do we throw it in the bin? (IF YOU DO THEN YOU ARE A FOOL!)

No... the majority of us eat that blue skittle. We eat it. In other words... We accept it. 
If you feel as though you're the odd one out in life... That doesn't mean that you're ALONE. It means that you're accepted. You're wanted. I'd love for every skittles packet to have a blue skittle or two in there.

And like that ever ellusive blue skittle in a packet of normal skittles... You're special.  

So next time you're with a group of people & you feel left out and alone... Remember that you're the blue skittle surrounded by other skittles.


There is absolutely nothing wrong with it.

If you have read all that and have decided that I'm just telling you a load of rubbish... Then I'm really sorry but I think I make sense.

Now please... go buy a packet of skittles & taste the rainbow... Be one with the colours.
