A reason to be you by @simba-sammy/16-08-21

Ever imagined how diamond experts can tell how a diamond is fake or real by only appraisal? This is possible because the fake diamonds have a perfect curvature whereas the real diamonds have flaws in their curvature.

This is just driving at being one’s self and not to appear perfect in front of others. We see the cool kids, they dress fresh, they are turning up, they are going to parties and we feel we are not enough because we are not like them, I want to use this opportunity to tell you that you are enough.

We were born to stand out and not to fit in. this is where my worst fear sets in, false identity; one can go to any mile just to be hailed by our fellows. It is rather unfortunate that we live in a world that has no chill, people are hated for real and themselves but rather hailed when they are disguised. And this is most of the problems the youth of today face, to be recognized and given attention by their peers. It is prudent for us to acknowledge the fact that we were born original and so we should not dare die a copy.

Growing up I was a shy kid and that actually gave me time to work on myself so that I do not get any undue mockery by my friends. I was oblivious to the challenges faced by some of mates until I had completely worked on my shyness. I realized that in order to be seen as a cool guy people went as fars as borrowing certain outfits from mates and it really hurt me because they were only living like a fake diamond with perfect curvatures but actually had no value.
This is a simple exhortation to the youth out there and possibly people battling with the issues of self-inferiority, just try to be you. Thanks for reading my entry and have a wonderful day
