I have always had the 'different' kind of thinking process. Met my boyfriend who was like me, and met my best friend who was like me and had read Ayn Rand. Read Ayn Rand. Realized what I was missing from my life was a sense of, I guess, life. Decided to try it out. Trying it out I realized how hard it is, but at the same time how much easier and happier it makes me. Tried to look for something that negated anything said by Objetivism or Rand. So far, I have not found any contradictions. As a result, I am a happy objectivist. Well, i guess you could argue if there are any unhappy objectivists.
