A Cupcake In A World Of Muffins

There are many variations of the compliment “you are a beautiful cupcake in a world of muffins,” and they all come down to the same thing. Someone is trying to tell you that you are special, you are one of a kind and you should own your stripes and be proud of your uniqueness. Nonetheless, we can all delve a litter deeper in this quote and see how it really is not the compliment we all take it to be. 
 
Imagine living in a world of muffins and being a cupcake: not just any cupcake, but a beautiful cupcake. First of all, you would be extremely excluded. All the little muffins go to school and spend time together while you are left alone.
