‘Unique’ is a word terminated
from the dictionary of today’s world. Lost in a flurry of of missing
individuality. Furthermore, our stereotypical world continues to perish, one’s
cool mind succumbing to the flames of ego, it is like fire and ice, but the ice
doesn’t seem to stop melting. It is an incessant battle against yourself, and
seldom do you ever win
I notice, on a day to day
basis, that children all around me, forget who they are and blindly jump onto
the bandwagon. Frankly, they are no more then apes, set on imitating the person
they seem fit. Moreover, this evidently shows how insecure everyone has become,
doubting their own abilities and criticizing themselves.
“The greatest prison people
live in, is the fear of what others think.” Todays generation, is set upon
changing themselves solely based on what others think. This remains an
immovable boulder, blocking the path up the mountain of success. It is
conspicuous in society, how imperative it is to attain a social status and
people forget the value of individuality in doing so. However charming the
reward is, one must remember that there is no better prize than that of
satisfaction.
Acceptance, is a word full of
diversity. However, we look at it with only one eye. To us, acceptance means to
be accepted by others, but It hides a secret which our ignorant minds have
trouble discovering. Brene Brown once said “let go of who you think you are
meant to be and be who you are”. That is the true definition of acceptance,
accept who you are, before letting society accept you.
If being yourself makes you
crazy, then there is no harm in being so. You know you are a star in the sky,
and even though everyone else doesn’t know that, they still stare at you in
amazement every night. You know that you soar above everyone else, maybe they
don’t notice you because you are too high. If you know who you are you don’t
need to worry about others. You are who you are, and that is what makes you
beautiful.
