You're Unique, Just Like Everybody Else

We all tend to battle to be unique and to be ourselves, but most of us end up like these people in this video...

(Don't ignore it because it's in Black and White. Trust me, It's worth the watch.)

We live in a world where being 'unique' is stupid. Nobody wants to be unique anymore. If you aren't doing what everyone else is doing, then you are scared, you are weak, and you are worthless. We all want to be unique deep down, but on the outside most of us live just like everybody else.

There are so many crazy trends that are going around that make absolutely no sense, but if everyone is doing it, then we feel like if we do that we will be different.

I mean think about it! What trends do you see going around your school or communities? Is there any logic behind them? 9 times out of 10 they wouldn't make any sense.

The only people trying to be unique anymore are hipsters. The only problem with that is the fact that they always burn their tongues on their coffee because they try to drink it before it's cool. Badum Tss

Now, saying that, these trends aren't always wrong. Many trends are just pointless. But as our culture begins to dive deeper and deeper into the sinful ways of this world, into drugs, into physical harm, into bullying, into partying, we see the power of conformity taking over our lives. We all have a desire to become unique, but we also are pressured by this world to do what "everyone else is doing."

Through this conformity, so many people are living in regret, shame, and rejection.
Through this conformity, so many young people find themselves stuck in addiction to drugs, alcohol, pornography, and other things.
Through this conformity, so many of your mind's are altered to believe that uniqueness, what makes you you, what makes me me, what makes us us, is extremely absurd.

THIS IS COMPLETELY MESSED UP!

God made you the way that you are. With all your unique qualities. You don't need to put on a fake personality to please people. Never forget that the person behind the mask is far more beautiful than the mask itself. Be Real. Be Genuine. Be who God made you to be.

When we start to be ourselves, be unique, and be the person whom God made us to be, we can start saying no to the pointless things and trends that the world is constantly throwing our way and finally start to understand our purpose in life and ourselves. 

BE UNIQUE! Because God made you that way.

"Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect."

Romans 12:2
