Original

myloverSTANDSongoldenSANDSandwatchestheshipsthatgoSAILING<3


I want to be original.
I don't think wanting to be original is very original.
Origin being the base word, so from the start i must have been different for no two people are the same, when did I start to conform?
Quite disturbing how one can take other people's ideas, words, gestures and make them their own without giving credit to those whom we acquired it from.
And If No credit is given, when others steal our stolen actions/words and we are given no credit then it will be as is it we were never alive.
It'll be as if we never spoke or acted. we cannot expect credit when we ourselves did not accredit first.
But why must we give credit? Were we not clever enough to see the good they possess and try to replicate it? And is it not a honor to be followed?
The problem occurs then, Who Should Receive the Honor?



To be Continued.

I feel weird engaging in a conversation about conforming because it's so normal and typical for people to complain about. I admit that I conform and yadiyayyaya. I feel that it's necessary for me to have someone or something to follow through life. To show a way to live and someone or something to depend on. I really wish I didn't but I conform and of course being a High Schooler it's the typical thing to do. I don't want to be typical! I kind of believe everyone can be original and different. But I know what you mean by wanting to be original may not be original. WOAH LONG COMMENT.

ROFL it is a long comment.
But I think as I read your comment
You and I conform or Should conform.
and Prepare Yourself this is going to be stereotypical....

But we should conform to the ways of Christ.

Conforming does not necessarily need to be a bad thing. There is no true way to be completely original because there are others before us who have probably replicated the same sort of actions, behavior or thoughts. I would think.

Being original at this point might mean simply acting upon your own desires not because some one told you should. Being yourself is the highest form of individuality. Having to option to conform to something you might actually agree on can be to an extent, original.
