Everyone wants to be unique, to feel special, different and accepted. No one wants to be just a face in the crowd, we all want to be identified as an individual, different from every other person. But are we really different from everyone?
Are we all the same?
All in the name of being unique, people try to be different in ways no one actually cares about. I see people every day saying stuff like
“I like that hairstyle but I won’t do it because everyone’s doing it”.
When asked the reason for this the immediate response is;
“I want to be unique”
“I want to be unique”
If you think about it, it’s quite a shallow way of defining uniqueness. There’s a fine line between unique and being different. Being different is as simple as wearing a green shirt when others are wearing something else, not unique.
In the bid of trying to be different we tend to alter our uniqueness. Uniqueness goes far deeper than material things. It’s beyond anything made by man. Uniqueness is in-built. It’s in your personality, your character, the way you think, the way you speak, walk, write, and draw and everything else. It’s being yourself even if no one gets you, loving yourself just the way you are. It’s who you are that makes you unique.

Take an example; in an apple farm you’ve got a billion trees that produces apples, each tree is unique despite the fact that a million other trees produce the same fruit. Each of them have a different marking on the bark, a different way in which the roots are planted in the ground. There may be similarities between them all but you can’t find two apple trees that are exactly the same, it’s not possible.
A second instance; our fingerprints are never the same even on one hand.
Why the hell would you fight for something you already have? Just think about it for a minute.
Each and every one of us is unique in our own way. Hearing a statement like “I want to be unique” is just absurd. It’s like hearing a doctor say “I want to be a doctor”
You’ve got a piece of cake, why fight to get it when it’s with you?
You don’t force uniqueness, it’s in you already, and you’re born with it. No one needs to tell you that, you should know that you are unique already.
How would you feel if people only liked you because of your hair or just your shirt or a pen even?
No one would remember you because of what you wear, or what color your hair is. They’d remember you because of the impact you made on them, how you made them feel, your character and personality.
It’s not what you do that makes you special, it’s how you do it.
Your uniqueness is you, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
