Hello everyone. Welcome back to another project with an extremely long description. This project is not like my other projects; its not art or a silly trash post. It’s something a little more important than that ^^ I have some advice I’d like to share. One of the biggest problems today is people “copying” one another. We have stopped living our own lives; we live in accordance to other people’s lives. Now, that may sound a little confusing. Let me explain. All I see nowadays (both online and irl), are people copying other people’s lifestyles, hobbies, interests, personalities, gender (you read that right), etc. We have this idea in our mind that if we act like a person that we like or look up to, others will see us the same way we see that person; which is not true. People are now changing so many things about themselves to “match” their role model(s), favorite influencers, friends, celebrities, fictional characters, etc. They completely swap their identity with someone else’s. People go as far as changing their bodies to look like other people’s bodies, so that they could be like them. I know that you’ve probably heard this a million times in kids movies, but you have to "be yourself." Be you, and nobody else. What’s changing yourself to be someone else going to do for you, huh? Are you going to be happy once you’ve completely eliminated yourself, your true self, from existence and replaced them with a knock-off celebrity/influencer/historical figure ? Some people change things about themselves to fit in with societal changes. We see this /a lot/ today. People claim to be something they are not just to look cool, seem oppressed (that’s a trend now, for some reason), and/or make themselves look more “progressive.” They lie to themselves (!!) and others by saying that they are meant to be a certain way, when in reality, they’re just changing themselves to be like someone/ some people. It’s insane how this stuff works. “People will always want to be part of the “current thing” that they think makes them popular. They probably have 0 idea about the possible downsides. Today it’s cool, tomorrow, not so much.” - quote by some wise person on tw!tt3r Don’t waste your time trying to change yourself to fit in with society. That’s the sum up for that. Don’t change yourself to fit in, and don’t change yourself to be someone else. The world already has that person. You know what the world doesn’t have? Another you. You are unique. You are one-of-a-kind (literally). So just be yourself!! don’t be anyone else! live YOUR life. Don’t live someone else’s. I don’t care how much you admire someone. You don’t need to do everything they do, act like them, talk like them, speak the same languages they speak, have the same gender as them (!!!!), have the same talents and hobbies as them, or anything else. people love you for who /you/ are. remember that <3 __________________________________________________ that’s it. Thank you for reading. I hope that what I wrote makes sense and doesn’t sound like absolute nonsense. have a good day/night ^^ __ (I feel like I could make a “Rose’s words of wisdom” series where I just randomly rant about bad things)
