We seem to live in a generation where everyone lacks originality because we are taught to always want what we don't have & that we are not good enough. I mean that might not be all the way true, but I mean c'mon think about it. White people want to be tan, Black people perceive light skin to be better than a darker tone. Skinny people want to be thick, people like me wish to be super model skinny. Like it's disgusting because no matter what it's like nobody wins. & being that a lot of it stems from appearance don't forget about our personalities too. I noticed that I sometimes changed how I act just to look appealing to someone I'm trying to impress.. & when we do things like this for so long we start to lose sight of who we really are. & if you started doing this young like me, it might be hard to even know who you really are.
For example, you know when your little & you're always being asked what your favorite color is? Well yeah there was this girl named Tanny in my daycare who was older than me & I thought she was so cool. Her favorite color was purple so I just started telling people that was my favorite color. Like literally still to this day tell people that's my fav color
I guess what I'm trying to say is a build up of little instances like that growing up can cause you to really question "who the hell am I anyway" ya know!
So as I've grown up & matured over time I'm really focussing on being 110% myself. & the way I figure doing that is to just be real w/ others & myself with how I feel & basically just doing what feels right to me & not giving a damn what others think of me.
If your reading this & feel me lol I challenge you to do the same thing!
