When I started this blog, I had no expectations, standards, or due dates. The only reason I started it, is because I was bored and I wanted to express some of my thoughts and emotions through my writing. After posting my first two entries on Facebook, some of my friends responded by texting me and telling me that they really enjoyed it. (I really hope they were being honest and not just being good friends Haha!) So what am I getting at here??? I probably still wouldn't be sitting here writing anything If I had been told by some really close friends that my writing sucks!
There are many qualities, talents, and characteristics that define the person that I am; some of them apparent, others not so much. If I had to name my top five, I would say that I am outgoing, nice, funny, hardworking, and a strong Christian! If you asked the same friends who responded to my first two entries, they would probably say the same thing! As I said before, these along with with many other traits, define the person that I am! I don't try to follow anyone else because I know that I would not want to be following a life of imperfection! There was only one person that lived a perfect life, and he died 2000 years ago, besides it's far more fun to make your own mistakes! I actually encourage you to do the same; otherwise, life gets boring!
If anyone were to ask me why I wouldn't want to be like someone else, I would have a very simple answer for them...I have family and friends that love me for the individual I am. As I started this by saying...my friends support me, because they love me and they believe in the things I do. They are not giving me false hope, because they care for my feelings. If my writing had really sucked, I would have expected them to tell me. The mixture of talents, characteristics, and imperfections are unique to me and me only! I'm not saying it wouldn't be nice to play basketball like Michael Jordan, or be able to write an entire series of best-selling books like J.K. Rowling...but the truth is... I am perfectly happy with the blend I have!
Just some food for thought: Individuality is the basis from which the world grows, where would this world be if we all did the same thing?

I praise you because I am fearfully and wonederfully made
your works are wonderful
I know that full well.
your works are wonderful
I know that full well.
