this is so true i love it we do tend to look to other peoples lifes and experiences sometimes for advice on our own but i dissagree with my teachers and my parents on look to other peoples mistakes to learn a lesson a lesson is only trully learned when we do something to cause it thats probaly why they look at me and say i told you what happened when i did this why did you do the same thing

dear writer,
I totally agree with your sentiment on individuality. Like Ralph Waldo Emerson once stated in his essay "Self-Reliance", "Imitation is suicide". If we go around imitating others and allow the experiences of others to wholly dictate our lives, who are we? Our being here on this earth will have been completely pointless and we would have left behind no real legacy to testify of our time here.

Yesterday, I was pondering about my memory a lot. I notice I have spent enough time thinking about the bad things. Although, it has helped me a lot. To experience what I have and look at things from a whole new perspective. To treasure what I have went through because it is who I am today and I wouldn't change a thing. I've noticed too many people trying to be different, but yet at the same time, they spend too much time doing that looking at others, then getting on with their own lives, experiencing their own ideas or feelings. I must say, you once again struck a button with this one for me. It's good to hear(see) these words. To know others like you (and Crystal) are out there. Thanks.

This is true, unfortunately many times it is easier to follow than to lead and that is a shame. The importance of being an individual is that no matter what one has to be true to oneself and not fall into the superfcicial/materialistic this world has succummed so many. Be as you are and not be afraid of it.

To quote Robert Frost "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I took the one less traveled, and that has made all the difference." Or my personal varient on this quote, "Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I took my chainsaw and carved my own path."

This reminds me of your anti-conformity rant. I think you're one of the most talented writers I've ever seen and truly a revolutionary thinker. It is true, unfortunately, that everyone loses their individuality to some degree or another. I once saw a T-shirt that I thought was sardonically funny that said "Remember your unique-just like everyone else." I think it could be applied here.

For as long as I can remember I have been trying to convey the same message. Don't do something just because yourfavorite singer or favorite actor/actress does it, do it because it is what YOU as an INDIVIDUAL want.
