A few days ago, I was in one of those cool little shops that no-one really knows about but everything in the shop is really amazing and interesting. The sort of place you can get everyone a Christmas present because it's just full of little treasures.
There were some cards in there with quotes on and I spent ages reading every single one. I loved loads of them, but the my favourite was this:
"The challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you just like everyone else."
It's my new favourite quote. It's strange though, because that topic seems to have been coming up quite a lot lately, 'being like everyone else'. I'm not really sure why. It's an on-going argument between me and a friend of mine, that people are the same but there are a few special people that stand out.
I do believe everyone is different in their own way once you get to know them but there are definitely some special people, some people that are like you've never met before in your life and you never will again. If you want to find those people go to university. Or meet my friends!
I'd love to be one of those people. Someone that makes an impression, that makes people think and someone people don't forget straight away. Those people are - there is no other word for it - special (in a good way).
This blog is kept short because I'm off to get a train now - I'm going home! I can't wait to see my family and friends. The people that will always be there for me no matter what, you will never forget me. They may not stand out in everyone's crowd, but in mine they do, they glow because they're such amazing people and I can spot them from a mile off.
I just wanted a blog with that quote in, because it describes the way I feel about that topic perfectly. Be yourself. Don't let the world change you.
"The challenge is to be yourself in a world that is trying to make you just like everyone else."
