A reminder to myself and others

You are you, you’re not going to wake up and suddenly be someone else or a pod person replica of them.  Be inspired by others, stop beating yourself up to recreate them in terms of artistic output or creativity.  I think it is only natural to be inspired by others, to look up to some, especially those with astounding abilities and that help forge the path we want to follow.  However, nothing good comes from trying to deny yourself, your voice and your talents to replicate someone else. 

Embrace yourself and show the world what you can do, who you can be and then hopefully and maybe you’ll inspire others to do the same.  There is nothing wrong with how you draw, paint, or dance.  Originality is not a curse.  Keep trying, keep creating and have fun with it.  What you create will always have that certain something to it that is uniquely yours and yours alone and that makes it wonderful.
