"Originality"

How beautiful is it to have something that’s so real & genuine. That feeling of an ownership over something authentic is priceless, you would do anything not to lose it. Just like that little child who won’t ever give up on his favorite toy. Many would sacrifice a lot to keep up with their realness. People nowadays lack genuineness & originality; all they want to do it “Go with the flow” what flow that is? No one knows, its just like whatever rocks your boat. I believe that there are three types of people out there, firstly, are those genuine original people who will always no matter what will stick to what they believe in & grab every inch of their realness away from this artificial society. Second group are those who are in between, deliberating whether or not to give in their realness for the sake of going with the flow, to have people that they can relate to & call them friends. But is this kind of categorizing genuine? Can you call those friends, real friends? Are they the kind of people you really want to surround yourself with? Only time will unfold those answers for you, but is it worth losing your originality over that. The final group of people are those friends of the devil, they have no originality, people who you would even insult the word insult if you called them fake.

This group will always try to “make it” in society, always doing whatever comes along to seek attention by imitating the “it” people around them, people they look up to, but little that they know that the “it” people are also pretending to be someone else. Living the life of someone else’s other than themselves, how easy is it to get a life nowadays, you’d look around & something would catch your eyes & before you know it, you’d be living someone else’s life. A life that isn’t yours, a life that lacks originality, realness & authenticity. A group of people that will always look for something new, I’m not saying that anything new isn’t good, but I’m talking about those people who will look at what is considered to be cool nowadays: what kind of music their “it” people are listening to & should listen to. What kind of clothes their “it” people are wearing that doesn't even make sense and feel obliged to wear. Where are the new places that their “it” people are hanging at & should hang there without any purpose, just for the reason that everyone goes there, even if you don't like the coffee or the food but that's the place that everyone goes to, so they feel obliged to be seen there.

Those who lack originality will always get into someone else’s business, they'll always interfere in someone’s life, make it all about them even if it’s not your business. This kind of people are all around Twitter, there are many as living proof that I’ve dealt with on day to day bases. But what they seek is attention; they’d try to get attention from people they feel threatened by & insecured, people who they secretly admire but won’t ever be like, people who make their insecurities get inflamed. But ignoring them will put them back to where they belong, a place that a genuine original person will never lower themselves to. Yes, that's where they belong, because they lack realness in life & above all they lack a life.

Going back to the first group, a group that I admire, a group that I’d give anything to be surrounded by. An original authentic kind of people that’ll make your everyday a better day. People who are effortly real, people who you’d sit with & even without any conversation you’d come out feeling good. People who have their own characteristics, personality & flaws, they’d never try to be something they’re not or live someone else’s life, they have their own sense of fashion, style & look. Never feel obliged to follow someone else’s trend, they make their own & own it nevertheless. Life is more original there, simple & real. That's what life should be like. Those people sacrifice a lot to stay original mentally, psychologically & socially. They stand out which makes them vulnerable to those who seek originality but nevertheless fail to break.

A simple easy genuine life is what everyone should look for, not a life that is full of artificial people who follow whatever is out there & fake it to make it. Try & be as original as you can, authentic & stick to what you believe in. Don't imitate people, be original & people will imitate you. How amazing is the feeling of people trying to be you, they shouldn't but that’s what originality is, always aiming to better yourself, have your own thing going on & stick to what you are, not what people are. And remember, to grab every inch of your realness away from this artificial society.
