Most people get upset at originality. Be different, they say, but not too different. Be unique, but not too unique. Be talented, not so much that you make others feel inadequate. Dislike, say, floral-print sofas, but don’t, like, set them on fire or anything. I set a few couches on fire and everyone’s like, why can’t you be more ordinary, and I’m like, why is everybody so tolerant of floral-print couches? How am I the bad guy here?
