'You Kids And Your Drugs'

When someone says to you, just be yourself, do you think, how do I do that?


Constantly questions are being asked about how you would describe yourself, whats your best and worst qualities and where do you see yourself in so many years? Do you struggle with that?


Or maybe you dont, but people always judge the answers you give. Confusing? Yup!


Unique and versatile are words that come to mind that are 'safe' choices when being described as a person, but honestly, they are so true! Not one person is the same, a persons fingerprints separates us from the millions of other people in the world. And believe it or not, those little quirks that you do everyday, separate you from the next person. For example, your routines for everyday tasks like eating, cleaning and sleeping.


I think the latest generations of people have become so accustomed to media, that they wish that they were like someone. I think about the days when TV was non existent and people just had a limited amount of sources to translate their personalities. Sure, your oldies or books will tell you what people were like 60-90 years ago, but honestly, behind all of that, I still think they were crazy, reckless and completely oblivious, like we are now! The difference being that we have more platforms (Internet, TV etc) to publicize our ways.
I still even think that people had way crazier sex back then to, had to be invented sometime huh?


The point I am trying to get across is, well, no matter how many times you are asked about yourself, told by older generations how disrespectful you are-just think, those simple things you do everyday, are you. Its not what you want to be, its who you are right now. Its fine if you want to go out and look like someone or act like someone else, but 90% of the time, you will come back to square one saying to yourself, why the hell did I even want to be like that?
Treasure yourself, wear what you want to wear, do your hair like you do and dont be ashamed, buy those crazy shoes and wear them, speak what you want-all these things will make other people say (inside their head, never out loud) 'Thats cool, good for them'


That my friends, sounds stupid, but take it from someone who found herself after years of torturing herself and listening to the wrong advice.


People will always tell you things only because they care, if they didnt, they wouldnt bother.


Not Just For Yours Truly...
