Individuality

     Everyone has a hero or someone that inspires them, right? Okay, so that person becomes someone that you look up to and strive to be like but with your own little twist, right? I ask because everyday I see so many "copy cat" people. This is regular people, newly famous, and up and coming stars.  It seems as if very few people have their own identity any more. You see something that someone else does and it get them attention, it works for them. That doesn't mean it will work for you.


      I feel as if our society has become lazy and doesn't want to take the time out to search inside of themselves to figure out who they really are. Young people are captured by the glitz and the glamor and think "hey, it works for this person so maybe it will work for me as well".  Another common thing is an attention whore. Those who strive to get attention in any way. Usually they do to much for this attention and become someone people are annoyed with. In Atlanta it is a very common thing for people to tell you they are a rapper or a model. Because 4 out of your 7 friends rap or model doesn't mean that's what you should do. BE YOURSELF! Individuality is sexy. Be the next you, don't be a carbon copy of someone else.


     I could go on and on, almost everything can be copied. The fact that you have a friend that always goes out, stays with the newest designer bags, keep her nails done, hair done, keeps up with a certain group of people etc. It's things that you never did before or had no interest in doing. Now that you see it works for someone you want to try it. Know that you can only be you. You are the best you, that is what you do best. Following behind someone else and living in their shadows shows insecurity. Insecurity is NOT attractive. Be yourself, and do what works for you.
