There are of course the people who want to be just like everybody else. Then there are the semi-original people. And then of course there are the people who say that they are original but really aren't. No offense to anybody who may read this. But you have to admit, that's the truth. And if you can't except this, then that's totally your problem, not mine. It's true that people do try to be like you or may even try to be like other people. But to somebody like me, I've learned not to really care. They can do what they want, try to change who they are, but they will never be me. I'm my own person, and I guess everybody needs to understand that who you are in life will never be changed. What I mean is, nobody could possibly ever try to be you completely because that's really not possible. You are who you are. Nobody can take that from you.
Of course, there lies within us the small need/ shred to conform. What I mean by that is, everybody wants to fit in. No matter who you are, no matter how "original", what a cliche, you try to be, there will always be a small part of you wanting to fit in. You just have to believe it before you deny the fact that there is a small part of you that does want to fit in. We mock the "popular" group, they mock us. But deep down inside, the popular girls mostly want to be like us because we actually eat, we don't puke up our food, well, at least most of us don't I hope, and we have at least a few good friends. Then we try to be like them, but who wants to be ego-tistical biotches anyways?!? I know I don't!
(By the way, this isn't directed to anybody, I was thinking about it.)
Oh, and my thoughts on suicide... it's the easy way out. I used to be like that, I would try to hurt myself. I thought that this was how it was supposed to be. I thought that by hurting myself, trying to take my life would make everything all better. But you know what, I figured something out, the suicidal way is the easiest way out. Through all the hard times that we suffer, whether it be hating somebody, losing someone close to you, blaming yourself for something, fighting with you parents, etc... no matter what, we should be thankful for the things in life that make us stronger. Hard times define a strong person. Suicide is something that just states, "Hey, you know what, I really don't care about anybody else but myself. I'm selfish. I want to do this. Life is too hard... boohoo, I'm too weak to live. Ya-tty Ya-tty Ya-tta... I don't care about the people who truly love me. All I care about is taking the easy route rather than taking the hard way and becoming a much stronger person. It's all about me!"... I learned that you really hurt people that are close to you. I learned that there is so much to live for in life rather than letting life dwindle away. And losing everything that is important to you. Losing every person that stopped their busy life to tell you that they love you... is far more important than taking your life. That's what is was given to you. That's why you're breathing right now. That's why you look at yourself and think, "I'm thankful for being alive. I'm thankful for the many blessings that have been given to me,". Life is so important. You were put here on this earth for a purpose. The people that love you need you. And you need them. Instead of living for yourself, live for the people that you love. They are more important than death...
