ORIGINALITY
You like
Julie and her new look. You admire Martin because he can play a guitar. You
think you only like originals?
A
State Of Mind
Originality
does not lie only on your look or style, even if it is true that we can closely
associate both. But then you can be original by the way you think, of living,
by the type of music you listen or by the activity you perform.
Most often originality is not a choice; it’s a state
of mind. The education you acquired, the experiences you live push you to adapt
a certain behavior. Original girls do not conform to fashion, they are very
independent and do not care about what others say or think and undertake their
style of life and way of thinking at an early age.
If you can recognize yourself in a
scene and you can live that situation with joy, congratulations! But if
originality can fascinate so can it disturb. When you feel you are picking
people on their nerves, ask yourself whether you are exaggerating or not!
The
Look Of Others
You
want to live and face the world on your own; you want to prove the whole world
that you are different and you wish to be recognized? To be successful, you
think that you need to be able to distinguish yourself from others. But this
status is not easy to assume. Accepting the
look of others, making yourself known rather than disappearing in a huge
crowd, opposing society, parents, friends… All discourages you… it slows down
the process you wanting to be an original, to demark yourself from others, to
forge or even create your own personality: you lack confidence in yourself.
Be
Yourself
Instead of absolutely dreaming of originality, tell
yourself that every being is unique. Try to look for this factor in yourself
and develop it. Your originality can show up by admitting, considering and
learning your tastes: you do not like the same music as your friends, why not
make them discover the one you like? You are bored of wearing short tee-shirts,
why not try tunics? Be yourself, it is often the easiest way of being original.
