Originality itself is challenging to obtain, and in the few circumstances when we are truly original we also risk the chance of being outcast. Humans are social creatures. We often subconsciously and continuously work to please others that we admire, so pursuing a counterculture idea too original may not even gain traction since the others interested jeopardize their own reputation. But given our tremendous similarities and shared commonalities of the human experience, it is nearly impossible to be alone in our thoughts. Typically, there have been others before us who may have verbalized said ideas, but never fully put it into action. There is only one thing—and only one—which makes us truly unique: our life stories and circumstances. These are the millions of little details which make you up and determine your humanity. The clothes you wear and the way you speak can be copied, but your memories and traditions or even the small things we determine to love or hate characterize who we will be. The superficiality of the physical is what makes us feel small and obsolete, but the story of our being reminds us all that we matter. We alone are enough. We’re special, and most importantly, original.
