Insecurity
"There is not one original person in this city."
I forgot what movie I heard that line from, but it seems pretty applicable even outside this city. Like the earth, for instance.
Nobody is a 100% original. I get it, even I wouldn't dare claim that I am. A lot of things I like or do, I got from others.
My fluency in the english language - International School.
My fluency in the conyo language - Miriam.
My fluency in the art of cursing - Pisay.
My tendency to cram - Pisay.
My love for alternative music - Pisay.
My tendency to keep up with every recent online trend - my brother.
My then fascination for Charles and Keith shoes - Chie.
My recent obsession with the color pink - Gelie.
My inclination to the colors lavender and purple - Nicole.
My stubborness - my brother.
My sensitivity - hormones. so maybe i didn't get this from other people.
All I'm saying is that not everything I do comes from "within". Of course people have influenced me. Of course I pick little things up here and there. But I am not about to pattern my own personality after someone else's. I speak differently. I check out other genres of music. I try to study well once in a while. I look for other good brands of shoes. Hey, I even pick out the color blue sometimes. A little appreciation for the actions and good taste of other people is perfectly fine, but why turn yourself into a Mini-Me of the people around you when you're fine just the way you are?
Why do some people keep thinking that everything about them just isn't enough?
