We live in a world where all of a sudden everyones motto is 'Be yourself' or something to reference that. What's so funny about this, is we are also in a world where so many people are not themselves, a lot of them (not all) but a lot who actually say this. They are lying to themselves and are trying to get others to believe that this person who they WANT to be are in fact the person they are. And those who are closest to know. Without really meaning to, these people are actually EXACTLY who they try so hard NOT to be, an imposter, a poser, a great pretender.
What made me think of this to write? I typed in something on an internet search and a big list popped up of 'How to be like ---' I won't say who. I was just thinking "Really? People really look up how to be someone else?"
And really who wouldn't want to be someone else sometimes? I admit that it would be great to step into someone else's place. Someone beautiful, famous. The someone you think has everything. But you can't, so to some people, the next best step is to morph themselves to try to become like this person, whether the person is real or fictional. If you do that, you fool no one but yourself. So instead how about you look in the mirror, come to terms with who you really are. Who are you? Well, you are who you try so hard not to be. Look for what comes natural to you, what you love the most. Look to where your mind travels and where your heart always goes back to. That is who you are. After all, who kows? Chances are, someone out there wants to be you.
