Have you ever fantasized about living someone else's lifestyle? For example, a popular fashion blogger, a famous YouTube sensation or a trendy celebrity. Wishing you could frequently try expensive sweets, travel occasionally, and have an Instagram feed that receives hundreds of likes after posting a photo within ten minutes. Well I was currently going through that stage. Ever since I watched Fashion Bloggers S01E01 on YouTube, I began feeling as if I needed to become a fashion blogger in order to move on. I had a conversation with my mother about my obsessive desire to become someone who inspires people that are interested in fashion. "I want to become a fashion blogger, but I need to find a photographer who can take my photos every week" I said. "Son, you cannot because you are currently focusing on school, and you have a job" she said. She made an excellent point. I have plenty of duties that are going on at the moment. I am taking online MATH courses, I work Thursday through Sunday, and I attend dentist appointments regularly since I am in the process of getting braces, so I jumped back into reality, and I realized that one day, I may become a huge fashion blogger, but right now, I must focus on improving myself, so that is exactly what I am doing. I also realized that I may not be a popular fashion blogger, but I have a blog filled with advice, music, good vibes, projects, and my photography. I don't need to be like someone else in order to feel noticed, all I have to do is continue to improve my skills, stand out, and treat people nicely. People will soon follow my originality. From time to time, you may wish that you could look or have something someone else has, but in order to have those goals accomplished you must work for them. People who we look up to have worked their ass off in order to get to where they are right now. For instance, If you want to become a doctor, reach higher for your degree. If you want killer abs, train your hardest. If you want to become a blogger, start your own blog and add your own creative content. No shortcuts necessary, we all can become successful human beings! I am not saying, don't admire people's talents because I have many fashionable role models I look up to such as Zanita, Lua, Marcel Floruss, and Blake Scott. They are the ones who inspire me and give me excellent ideas. Just do not ever feel like you are not good enough because you are in fact, very special, and your uniqueness is what helps you stand out from the rest. Like the saying goes, "Be the best you, you can possibly be." Trust me being yourself is fun, and it is definitely worth it.
