Be You. Not them. YOU

Hey guys,

I am actually blogging so that's a good sign. I know I promise that I will be more consistent with my posts but it just gets hard sometimes.

Today I'm going to post a little bit about diversity.

diversity

noun, plural diversities.

1.

the state or fact of being difference.

 

A word that has been used many a time and yet not used properly. Sometimes we call ourselves diverse when really we try to fit in as much as possible because we are scared of what the consequences if we aren't all the same.

 

This saddens me sometimes but I cant say that I haven't tried to fit into society myself. Whenever a trend comes we always seem to follow it because either a big population of people are doing it or because someone you look up to has decided it's the new 'cool'.

 

I haven't decided if it is out of fear or what really, but I've just noticed a lot now that we say things about ourselves which aren't true at all. We as people are formed into what our personalities want us to be as well as what society wants us to be. I guess what I', trying to say is, you don't need Facebook or twitter to decide who you are or what you like. Its all up to you, so what you don't know now because at some point you will find out and that's the main thing.

 

This is probably the most cliché post ever but it s a true one. I have to admit whenever I see posts like these I will read them but scroll away rom thinking

"They all say the same things and yet after all these posts and videos nothing happens."

 

My mind is true when it says that though. No matter how many blog posts, or videos, or speeches, at the end of the day we are going home wishing we were someone else or the person we are. The bullies will stay the same, the depressed sadly stay the same. everything stays the same.

 

So why am I posting this even though I think it's a silly thing to post? Well the answer is this:

Although I know that no matter how hard we try to be ourselves, someone will judge and we will feel the same again and again. But it doesn't have to be like that. I want you to do something for me.

No matter how hard it gets, or how many times you've cried and felt bad, or how many things you have been hated because you decided to be you, go for it. If you go to an American school then tomorrow dress how you want to dress (even if its a monkey) or if you go to an English school and have a home clothes day, don't dress how the others want you to dress, dress how you want to dress. It's these little things that we do to help ourselves define who we are that can change the world bit by bit. sign up for that talent show and show them what you are made of or sign up for that fun run you've ben wanted to do but feel as if you will look like a clown if you do it. It's the things you love as a person that make you as a person  and not anyone else.

 

 

I just thought I would post a little self esteem booster not only for you but for myself too, things are really tough at the minute and just posting in general makes me happy.

I may post tomorrow but don't expect anything

 

Till next post ma friends
