If Times New Roman isn't special, then I am just part of the crowd.

I am a dot on Seurat’s canvas.

 

You told me that I wouldn’t be respected if I used Times New Roman, well maybe I don’t write to be respected. Maybe I write in Times New Roman because I like to read in it.

 

I could write in Wingdings. Would that make you happy? Would that make me stand out?

 

I don’t write with words I don’t understand and I don’t embellish nature to sounds pretty. Times New Roman isn’t trying to impress anybody and neither am I.

 

I am writing about what is real and I am writing about how I feel and I don’t need your opinion and I don’t want to hear your spiel.

 

Did that make me stand out?
