Hi Jesse,
This is a good way to pick friends. People who don't label themselves usually can't be labeled by others. Uniqueness is a good quality in itself.
And not letting others define you is good advice.
Keep writing and stay healthy

Jesse,
This is a beautiful piece of prose. Congratulations on your #6 rating. You are truly deserving. I don't like being labeled by people; labels rob people of their individually.
I hope your therapy is going well. I'm strong and able to do most things as a result of the great surgeon I had.
Blessings, Jesse.
Please keep in touch.

Thanks, Cindy for your kind and thoughtful review. You always have the pulse on what is good for us and I thank you for inquiring about my physical therapy. I am in between therapists and am waiting to walk with the aid of a good one. I am happy you are strong and able to do what you like. I will keep in touch and wish you a very wonderful weekend!

Jesse,
I would be doing better, but I lift items heavier than I?m supposed to, and sometimes I?m in pain. So listen to your therapists and take things slowly if you can. I?m ok, though, life isn?t perfect, but, for the most part, life is good.
Please keep me informed of your progress. Smiles.
Blessings,
Cindy

We all make mistakes Cindy, and I have made my fair share of mistakes as well.
I will keep you informed of my progress and I hope you feel better soon!

A beautiful and thought-provoking write, jessi. I remember a few students who would fit this description. Others would make fun of them. I like that you defined this with examples.

Thanks, my friend for all of your insights into how your students would fit the mold of the nonconformist and how other students would make fun of them.
I like to give examples when I write and I am glad you approve of them.
Thank you for your kind words.
Have a wonderful day!

I like to think im a free spirit but I do like schedules and rules. Might not follow them all the time but I like that they are there for "others". Lol. This was a well written piece and showed you have given this subject a lit of thought. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Gretchen

I believe that in reading your post you fit the bill, for you are a person I find "clearly unable to label." You must be in a mellow mood, for anxiety is not trying to destroy you, Jesse. I'm glad for you my friend, never give up, and never surrender. :) take care.

Thanks, my friend for your compliments and for giving me very good advice which is to never give up and never surrender.
I thank you for comparing me to the descriptions in this piece. I am a true nonconformist in the original style.
Take care as well.

Is that Lassie? How in the heck did you do that? I believe you are spot on. Your line...clearly unable to label...is perfect. Of course the ...fortitude and
bravery with acts of kindness...are the differentiators from a woke mob.

Jesse, this is a wonderful short piece on non-conformity. I can honestly say I have broken a few molds myself. Loved the collie-flower. How uniquely you!
Sending you my best today as always and blessings for your week.

Good for you, Sally for breaking molds that would otherwise confine you into a conformist. Thank you for sending your best blessings and for giving me kindness and consideration.
Have a lovely upcoming weekend!

Comment from Bill Schott
This piece, Unable to Label, is important as we look around ourselves and identify those who may be operating in their own niche, and those who may be on the cutting edge of what is next.

We do have labels I am afraid and society is eager to stamp them all over us .I love those who defies stamping
I love Meryl Streep since she stands apart from the usual hollywood women(so I think)
Well written

I agree that Meryl Streep is a non-conformist in the way she handles herself and the movie roles she chooses. We have labels only if we choose to be labeled and otherwise, we can be free and allow ourselves and others the freedom to express ourselves.
Have a wonderful day!
