This quote is so simple... but I love it a lot. It has a very basic meaning- be unique and bright in a world that is dull and uniform. My dad is constantly saying that the people in my generation are always trying to be unique and stand out, while they all look the same anyway. I personally don't like the fact he says this- because while yes; people follow the same trends and all clumped together look the same... every person has a unique personality and how they choose to represent themselves physically is often a reflection of their personality.
Personally, how I dress and what I choose to do with my appearance... I do because it makes me happy and makes me feel comfortable. I could give a shit if I'm fitting in with a certain crowd or not. I try to not judge TOO much based on appearance; but instead by how a person acts. I've said this in a previous post, but I've met church-goers who rock purple and blue hair and have piercings and tattoos everywhere and people who are into the harder lifestyle who wear dresses and pastels. Appearance is so stereo-typed in today's society and it's sad, really. Too many people are judged based on their outer appearance and miss many amazing people because of it. By now, you're probably wondering where I am even going with this post. I've managed to stray pretty far from what I started with- which was standing out in a dull world. Well, I happen to think that there are many fruit loops among the cheerios- many unique people who are sadly classed as cheerios simply going along with the crowd by those who don't take the time to get to know them. Yes, trends are something we all fall into... there is virtually nothing you can do with your appearance to be "unique" in today's world. Someone will inevitably copy you or will have already done what you tried to achieve, and the uniqueness loses its worth. Don't lose your own worth as a person just because others want to shut you down as some minority trend. -- Maddie
