Be Original!

There's only one you, Friends!
Hiya, Big People!  Happy Thursday to you!

Well, ya know, Friends, I've come to realize something since I've been ridin' around the sun on this big blue marble we call Home, and that is that if you try to be anybody but you, you're wastin' your time.

It's true.  I mean, there's nothing wrong with trying on different characteristics of people you admire.  That kinda might stretch ya out of any comfort zone you're in.  Or if you have something like a shortcoming, it can help ya overcome that shortcoming.  But the trick is to use those characteristics sparingly, the way you'd use quotes in a paper!  You never want to let the borrowed bits overshadow your own voice.

If you've lost yourself in too many borrowed bits,  you aren't bein' the real you.  Some people would call this 'puttin' on airs.'  You don't wanna do that!

Have confidence in who you are.  Don't try to be someone... anyone else.  You never know.  There could be someone out there, lookin' for a friend who's exactly like you.  But if you're too busy borrowing too many facets of other people's personalities, you'll never know!

I love ya just the way you are, Big People!  I'll see ya tomorrow!  Muah!
