Dare to be Different.

I find this a struggle in almost every person I see: individuality. People refuse to be themselves because of some made up fantasy image of them self that they have. In the end, you maybe not be getting as much criticism by your peers by taking the easy way. That's all find and dandy, but you're turning into everyone else. Why do you think you are feeling depressed? It's because you're trying so hard to be anyone but yourself that you are stressing out.

People here on dA steal someone's style so they'll be accepted, they claim to change, then rant how people steal their style. You may be stepping up in this site popularity-wise, but in reality, you aren't doing yourself much of a favor as an artist. As an artist you need to stand out, that's what people look for. Step outside of that box, be creative.

People who I know personally want to fit in with others and they all become alike. They tend to claim that they are different then all the other girls. Who do you think you're fooling? The thing is, you want to be original, just avoid the hardships that come with it. God made you special, everyone has that potential. Why hide it for what you think is acceptable? These girls get these boyfriends online and put in a mask, tell them how different they are. What is that guy going to do when he sees who you really are? Stop hiding what makes you beautiful.

Sure, people look at me and think what a loser she is, but in reality, who is the loser. I may be a loser because I am not you. In reality, you are all the same. I think it's the other way around. I have my own opinions, flaws, joys, and things I hold dear, so do you. Why is everyone today trained to be do critical? I respect those who stand out. You have not taken the easy way, and you know what? You'll succeed. You'll succeed higher than the other people who at the time were "better" than you. That is so ridiculous and flawed. It pissed me off how people are. I think if you're angry, confront them, if you need help, ask, if you want to help others, do. But guys, when you want to help, you have to listen. If you don't listen you miss everything. Take a few minutes and listen to a person who needs help or who is in a rough time. I can promise you if that person stands out in a crowd, they've had enough.

What makes you different makes you beautiful
Use what God gave you
