I Think You Misplaced Something...

Excuse me, but you seem to have misplaced something that's quite essential to your existence...and if you think I'm talking about your Blackberry then you're crazy!

Your identity is missing, please go find it!

Am I totally missing the mark here or is there something wrong with just being yourself? If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery yet it's also suicide, I guess that explains why it seems as though people are dying to be like those they admire. I'm not saying that we shouldn't be inspired by music or fashion, but we shouldn't be slaves to it either. These things should compliment what's already there inside of you. I'll say this for example: I love fashion mags and like most women who are into fashion, we get alot of our ideas from those very mags. The key is to take a style trend or idea and ADD YOUR OWN PERSONAL STYLE OR IDEA TO IT, not be a total carbon copy! Personally, when I'm out & about I feel like I'm at a casting call for "Attack of the Clones". It's all skinny jeans and nerd glasses on the guys or Nicki Minaj wannabes! I don't know about you but I'm no character, and Halloween only happens once a year so all the costumes don't make sense to me.

If you're a natural-born follower then I guess I'm not talking to you, but for those who claim to be and take pride in being individuals, free-thinkers, trendsetters, & innovators: stay blazin' trails because it actually takes more effort to try to be someone else.

The lost & found is filled with identities who wish to claim their owners...make sure that you reclaim yours.

Your identity might be lost if:

~The only liquor you drink is whatever you heard your favorite rapper talking about in his latest song...

~You suddenly got in touch with your Asian roots, found out that your dad's great-grandmother's sister-in-law was 1/8 Korean, and now you consider yourself "Blasian"...

~You can't get dressed until you've watched--and re-watched--the video channels...

~The only ideas you can come up with or talk about are those you read on the celeb gossip blogs...
