Imitation......

We've all grown up hearing the saying "imitation is the most sincere form of flattery." Personally, i feel it to be the most sneaky form of jealousy. Why would you want to copy someone elses originality? Why would you NOT want to be, well, YOU. To stand in someone else's shadow would probably get cold. Always striving to be like someone else, has got to be hard work. More work than it's worth really. Atleast i would think. I've never been one to follow a trend, to wear what's in style, to buy what all the other "kids" are buying. I am simply me. I suck at times, i hate myself at times, i have next to no confidence in what i should. But, that's me. I may have went through a period in my life where i tried to drown out who i was, and it worked. For a little. Well, for years. LOL But, it's just a chapter in my story, not the whole thing. I'm more me than i ever was, i know what i want, i know what i need, i know what i'm good at and what i need to work on. Each of us are responsible for writing our own story, that's what life is, OUR story. Why on Earth would you want to only read someone elses, instead of making your own? Why would you want to be a "syndication" and not broadcast live?
For as long as i can remember, my dad has always said they eyes are the window to a persons soul. Which, may just be why i have a thing for eyes. LOL Never in my life have i felt that to be more true than now. Sober eyes will show more than you could ever imagine. Eyes that have seen hell, that have seen from an early age, what no eyes really should, can also see what some people hide behind their words. Behind their actions. Words spoken can often be fake but where words fail, eyes will shine. It's why we tend to look away from someone we're lying to. Why, without tears, some will show shear pain. Without a smile, some will show pure delight. Without a smirk, some can show pure desire. Without speaking a word, can show you someones true self. The one they try to cover up by standing in someone elses shadow. A persons eyes will almost always show their insecurities when what they say contradicts what they do.
