Being Unique

Hi! So I went on wattpad a few minuets ago to find a load of really nice people being really inspiring. I know things like this attract a lot of people also going through the same thing so I think we should all push through together! I know there are a lot of people out there going through ten times worse than me, but I can't even tell my mum about my problems so trust me when I say I don't want a lot of attention from this!

There is one thing I want to talk about in particular today though, and that's uniqueness. Yeah I get that we're all unique and going through different things but all my life I have struggled to find something that is MY thing. For example- when I was 6 I took up drama, it was really fun, I made some friends and my confidence skyrocketed, at this point I was the only one out of my school class into drama but off course after that practically the entire class started up drama. When they did I began to feel really self conscious again so quit.

Now I find it difficult to even say a few lines in front of my family. But it gets worse! I have this one friend, who, because I don't want to offend her I will call Betty. Now Betty is a bit of what I might call a copycat. She was the first to copy me with drama and that was only the beginning, in year 3 I started to like turtles, dolphins and all things sea! I really enjoyed this obsession and drawing cute pictures to put on my wall! But I began to realise something... Betty mysterious loved turtles too! But she went way to far with it, and when I mention way to far I mean she splattered turtles shapes in purple paint all over her walls... She had ruined the one thing that at that point was MY thing, but being me I didn't say anything and let another part of my life shatter before my eyes!

So as you can imagine, I go out of my way to not be like Betty and ruin other peoples obsessions. But now I understand that it's very hard. Take 2 years ago, I walk up to two of my friends in school and one of them, who I will call Mandy, was talking about these two guys called Dan and Phil. I had never heard of them so googled them as soon as I got home that day. I instantly became obsessed! But I didn't want to ruin things for Mandy so kept my love for them a secret. This didn't affect me until a couple of months ago when Mandy got three tickets for the Dan and Phil tour! But... You can probably guess what happened next- Mandy is taking Betty and this other girl not me, they don't even like Phan! Luckily there was still tickets left when I found this out but I'm stuck with going with my Mum!

I'm sorry if I rambled a bit there, there was just a few things I wanted to get off my chest. But if you are going to take anything from this then DONT BE A COPYCAT! But also don't be scared to have opinions. But then again I'm still scared to have my own opinion, but I am working on it!

Bye!
