be uniquely you

oh. of course i remembered as soon as i just posted. but i thought this was too important not to be put up. my sister and i were talking and somehow the shakespeare quote "a rose, by any other name would smell just as sweet" came up. we were deliberating on the meaning, and decided that it means, no matter what you try to disguise yourself as, you are still you, and you cannot change yourself on the inside. this, in my life, has a two part meaning. the first, which i just took into context for what i am into at the moment- dressing up and getting all pretty with hair and makeup. no matter how i do my hair or fix my makeup and no matter what clothes i wear, i am still myself inside. that also applies to everyone who thinks modeling and acting changes people, or just fame in general. no matter what you wear or what you do, you are still you, the same you you have always been.
the second- more important meaning, i think- is that no one can change who you are. even if someone is constantly bringing you down, killing your confidence, trying to mold you to fit a shape other than your own, you are still you. remember that you have the power to fight back! don't let someone else try to make you something that is not you at all, but only an element of fiction made up by their mind. if you fight back, there is no way they can win. you cannot be changed on the inside, by anyone, so why should you act like they have changed you. no one benefits from that, they get an unnessary ego boost and you are left feeling like crap. you deserve better than that. i don't care who you are, as a human being, that is your right. and especially as a women, stand up for yourself girl! no one can change you, and you are always you, no matter what face you put on, no matter what you try to run from, or hide from, or shape yourself to be for someone else, you will always be uniquely you, there is no changing that!!
