Xerox.

Are you a photocopy of someone else?

Do you constantly watch other people and mimic?

Do you have any idea who you are, or do you let other people define you?

Our generation is one of trends.

Very few people are trendsetters;

Most are followers.

And not everyone can be first to a new idea...

But everyone IS unique.

I think that many of us tend to forget that to look different is to be beautiful.

To know who you are,

To love who you are,

To be confident in who you are,

Especially in the face of conflict or adversity?

That is...

Life.

Defining.

Understanding.

That. is. Freedom.

Toss off those chains,

Because a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy

Tends to be too blurry.

Or look like Bill Murray.

(FYI: That was a completely unintentional rhyme. But it works.)
