THERE’S A THOUSAND YOUS, THERE’S ONLY ONE OF ME

Understanding the importance of individuality. Mel Robbins says the likelihood of you being you is one in ….This reminds me of the scripture in the Bible about YHWH forming us in our wombs and knowing the amount of hairs on our heads. Similar to how he knows the name of each star in the sky. Science or religion agree on this one thing.. that we are all unique and created differently. Our DNA alone is what makes us individually who we are. Even twins who shared the same womb grow up to be two separate people with different personalities.

Although we all have this ……..we are growing in a world that promotes conformity. Although we are all different, we are choosing to be the same; act the same, look the same, dress the same and even think the same. It’s called the bandwagon effect. Don’t choose to be one of many! Embrace your uniqueness, no matter what.

We all have something distinct to offer the world.

Sure you can be inspired by others. but these are things that rarely can be mimicked. These cannot be taken from you because they are you!

YOUR EXPERIENCES..YOUR STORY

The experiences you’ve had in this life is specifically curated for you. It has shaped you into the person you are today. No one can take that from you. No one has been what you have been through.

Sometimes we can be ashamed of the things that happened to us that if given the opportunity, we would change everything about our past.

Every experience is meant to be taken as a lesson. We are meant to gain wisdom and knowledge from experience. We are supposed to use trying times as a guide toward the right direction.

YOUR CHOICE IN MUSIC

When I was younger, I used to be embarrassed of some of the music I genuinely liked. It was not socially acceptable to like a certain genre especially where I grew up. I loved rock music.

The older I got, the more I realized how stupid it actually was. Like why does the music that I play in my headphones effect you in any way? They’re MY ears. It’s my life and I am the only one who lives in this body. I started embracing the music I love, regardless of other people’s opinion. I embrace that I have an ear for diversity.

Don’t pretend to like a song because it’s popular

YOUR STYLE

A form of self expression. Creative outlet. There is a difference in feeling when you wear your clothes and not let them wear you. That means you exude a different level of confidence when you are feeling confident in the outfit you out on. This is what someone cannot take from you. Your ability to express yourself through your clothes. Sure someone can buy the same items even style them the same way but… This could be the way you wear your hair, the way you do your makeup, your tattoos and piercings, nail art …whatever! you get the point.

Not what’s trending. What genuinely makes you happy to get dressed and walk out of the house. So as long as you feel comfortable and feel like YOU.

YOUR IMPERFECTIONS

YOUR HOBBIES

YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR

Only you will find funny what you find funny. Sure you can pretend to find something funny just to fit in or not look like the odd ball out but. I dont believe we even know why we find what we find funny to be funny. Theres all different types of humor; dry humor, dark humor.

There is nothin like genuine authentic laughter. The gut wrenching laughs where you just cant control yourself. This is something so personal and unique to you, it’d be absolutely difficult for anyone to mimic this aspect of you.

This includes your laugh. Personally I hate my laugh. But guess what? it’s me. I’m known for my laugh no matter how embarrassed I am of it. And because it’s so hard to change, I gotta just stick with it. You know. I’m learning to embrace this part of me.

YOUR VALUES

That is your morals, your integrity. What is important to you in this life. Our experiences contribute to what we view as valuable. Maybe you value money, family, fame, . These are in your brain and only you know why it has a level of importance deep in your heart.

One thing I'm proud to say no one can take from me is my wisdom. We all have unique qualities about us that make us stand out. Though we may experience similar events, they are still so greatly unique to …
