You Are Your Own Person

Everyone is different and should be who they are.

Be Yourself

We live in a world where everyone is different in their own way. So why should one have to be like the rest of society. Being unlike the others makes one a unique individual who can tell society I am different and comfortable in my own skin. That on its own is a great thing because it shows a characteristic of someone who accepts themselves and wants to show those surrounding them that they are who they want to be and not someone who should be like how others would want them to be. For this reason, being different and staying true to yourself is a wonderful gift that should be cherished and shared with others who will see you for who you actually are.

There is nothing wrong with being different than the rest of people around you. In fact, it is better to be a leader and stand up for what you believe in instead of following a crowd of people who all act in a similar fashion. Someone deciding to not follow the crowd is confident enough to show others what makes them an individual and not someone who wants to be in a group where everyone acts the same way.

Because not everyone is alike, being different is a better thing to experience. You are being who would like to be and showing that side of yourself to other people who have interacted with you. Those people are seeing you as someone showing his own personality to people he communicates with. It is always better to be who you actually are around everyone so they do not get a false perception of who you may be. Just keep being yourself and change nothing about the person you are and how people see you.

You are who you want to be. People should be able to see that in you. There is no reason to act as a crowd-pleaser. Instead be that person who wants to stand out and be someone that is different. Being different than everyone is always better than following people who are all the same. Just remember that when you be yourself people will see you for who you are and realize you are willing to to not be like all the other people around you.

Everyone has something that distinguishes them from others so why should they have to act like everyone or pretend to be interested in the same things? They have the freedom to be their own kind of person and feel comfortable being who they are. It is always better to see people for their differences than similarities. Seeing two people as different hurts no one because nothing requires two people to be like one another. People can be different by choice and it is always a good thing to be your own person who wants to stand out

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
