His name was Takashi and he was a young man living in a small town. He was always considered a strange man. He dyed his hair purple and always walked with a serious look in his eyes.
People were afraid of Takashi. They believed him crazy. But Takashi was just a normal guy. He just wasn’t afraid to say what he thought.
One day, while Takashi was walking through the center of town, he met a group of young people from the group. They were all laughing at him and teasing him about his hair color.
Takashi tried to ignore them, but they wouldn’t stop. Finally, he stopped and turned to them.
“What are you interested in?” he asked.
“The color of your hair,” said one of the young men. “That’s ridiculous”
“It’s mine, so don’t worry about it,” said Takashi.
“You are crazy,” said another. “You don’t belong here.”
Takashi laughed. “I don’t think I belong here,” he said. “I don’t belong anywhere.”
Then he turned and left.
Young people looked at him and they could not understand him. They didn’t know who he was or where he came from.
But Takashi knew. He knew he belonged nowhere. But he didn’t care. He was not afraid to say what he thought and went his own way.
