How true can you be?

Have you ever thought that someone is very nice and you think that s/he is your model in life, from whom you should learn? And you start imitating her/him in every aspect in your life. But since you are not her/him, you struggle to become one.

I have. Although I was not trying to imitate anybody in every aspect, I tried to imitate some characteristics from someone, and others from the other people who I found worth imitating. And it was really hard. Since I would never become exactly as them.

But now, my idea about imitating someone changed. Just because that someone is nice in their way doesn't mean that you will be nice if you have what they have. They are special because they are who they are meant to be. And you are meant to be you. There is no point to act like the others since they are already there and the world doesn't need a copy of them(even the cloning technology can't copy them inside out).

So, just be yourself and someday you may find that someone is trying to imitate you, the one who you think is the worst guy/girl on earth :)
