Never Mind

3rd January 2011

I'm losing myself
Trying to be the same
as everyone else
Instead of just being me
Don't know where to turn
I've been stuck in this routine
I need to change my ways
Instead of always being weak

I don't wanna be afraid
I wanna wake up feeling beautiful..today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in an unusual way
So you see, I just wanna believe in me

The mirror can lie
Doesn't show you what's inside
Lying, it can tell you you're full of life
It's amazing what you can hide
Just by putting on a smile

I'm quickly finding out
I'm not about to break down
Not today
I guess I always knew
That I had all the strength to make it through

Not gonna be afraid
I'm going to wake up feeling beautiful..today
And know that I'm okay
Cause everyone's perfect in unusual ways
Now I believe in me

Heard this song on the radio today.
To believe in yourself. To believe that you are beautiful, to believe that you can do whatever you wanted to do: sometimes that could be the hardest part. Try to convince yourself that you are wonderful when you were always told the contrary.

Weird like having a different way of thinking. It has become a routine hearing those words. That used to hurt her a lot. But nowadays, she just doesn't mind.

You do not have to be what other people expected you to be. Change if you want to, but not because of what others wanted you to do.

There's nothing wrong actually in being different. For her, there are people, things that are weirder than her :). At least, she just do silly things randomly from time to time, have different ideas and different views. Mostly, she tries not to hurt anyone by her act and words. Oh yeah.. one more thing : she does not have horns on her head.

No one is really unique in the whole world. Of course not. Out of 6.9 billion people, you are bound to meet someone or a group of people who actually has the same thinking as yours. If you have not yet meet one today, don't worry. Just enjoy the privilege of being unique while you can.

Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the commonplace, the slaves of the ordinary.
