While watching the infamous Broadway musical "Chicago" last night, I couldn't help myself but stare at the audience. It wasn't the promiscuous costumes the actors were flashing in the dance numbers or how close my brother, cousin and I were to the stage, it was the audience's awe whenever the actors were performing. Never in my life have I seen such bedazzled and drooling eyes stared straight at something more than last night. Not only did that experience made me want to laugh in their faces but it also made me feel some sort of sympathy for them.

Idolizing others have always been a motivation key I consistently had to bring myself to so I was able to feel a certain comfort level of satisfaction. If I was to look like a certain person, my self-esteem would be elevated enough so I would not have to feel heavily judged by others, as the same aspect went for my writing. However, numerous of hours scrolling through Instagram pictures and comments of blog post compliments only made me feel extremely anxious and unhappy at the end.

I read articles and see girls way younger than me every single day, either on social media or in public, who feel even worse about themselves because they don't have a certain point that they don't fit into everyone's persona of "greatness." The way they carry themselves with their "I got all of my things in order because I think I'm all grown up" attitudes including their countless underage and illegal alcoholic and drug SnapChat stories have become a norm they all feel they have to carry because all of the hot people on social media that are doing the same. All of these odd activities they have to perform to feel accepted then gives me a reason not to feel so bad about myself.

The distinction between the starstruck audience and the innumerable fans does not exist, regardless of how those fans deny the fact that they praise celebrities. It brings me misery that people aren't fascinated by their own skills and what they can bring into society. They're not sure if it's possible to be original and do something completely different because everyone around them is following the same rule.

I know it sounds cheesy that I say all this since it's obvious and nowadays being "original" has become acceptable but is this really true? Are people willing to let others bring out who they truly are to the community without the nasty comments?

I'm not sure if that question will ever be answered but for now, "keep calm and stay original."
