INSPIRATION OR COPYING?

... wait, are you lost too?

Hello beautiful people! I was just thinking about what to write for my blog and suddenly came up with an idea which has been on my mind lately. Can you describe yourself as a creative person? Actually sometimes I believe being very creative but sometimes just nah. Most of the time, I feel like i need some kind of inspiration to keep going. Or even just to start off. We all have those "don't-know-what-to-wear" moments right? I often search for models' street styles to get an idea about what to wear on that day. However, I realized that I've been copying their whole outfits whether it was my style or not. Suddenly I realized that I became a copycat version of those supermodels. I lost my "real" self. Even started to question my style. What was my style? The only motive I had while copying those outfits was being able to look like those glorious women that we see on runaways. They were so pretty. Romee, Gigi, Josephine, Doutzen.. All of 'em. But the problem is, I do not look, dress or sound like them. In fact, most of the time I can't even understand what the heck they are wearing. I would never-ever combine an orange bag with a pair of purple pants. Ew. Not-so-me. But these women do, and it looks amazing on them. That's when I realized it should stay on them, because it would never look the same on me anyways. But guess what? It's totally fine. Because what makes us unique is our own styles. Not trying to brag here but my "own" style wouldn't look good on them either. We need to accept ourselves. It's scary how hard it is to remain yourself. They made us believe that having long hair is beautiful, they made us believe that only flat bellies are considered as sexy, and so forth. What If I want to have short hair? What If I don't want to be or never will be skinny? Girls. Seriously. WAKE UP. Do not waste your time on being someone else. You, doesn't matter how you sound or look, doesn't matter what you wear, ARE BEAUTIFUL. I totally understand you care about what people think about you. Because I do too. No matter how many times I tried to convince myself that what others think about me does not matter, I always failed. I wanted to be considered as "beautiful", "pretty", "sexy", "stylish" and stuff. But guess what? They will judge you anyways. Some people are just programmed to JUDGE. No matter how beautiful you are, they will always find a flaw, no matter what you wear, they will always have something to say. So don't try to please everyone. Just live your life the way you want to live it. This is called real "freedom", and I guarantee you, once you really test it, nothing will ever bother you again.

So here is a note for you; when you need some kind of inspiration, do not copy. Adapt it into your very own style. Do not be scared to say the things you want or you don't want. You don't have to buy anything that "everyone" wears. I'm sure you all know those Vans Old School sneakers that literally every blogger and YouTuber wear, I hated these shoes. So never thought about getting one while everyone wearing them around like crazy. When something becomes popular, people feel like they MUST but them. I know people who shop according to the popularity status of a product lol. Make the ugliest thing popular and everyone will buy it. Don't buy anything if it's not your style.

Also. DO.FUCKING.NOT. compare yourself to the others. Those amazingly beautiful supermodels may be unique but so are you. We girls need to understand that we all are beautiful. I know this sounds so cliche but it is true. You have one life darling, do not waste it by hating yourself. You deserve better than this.

And another big news, guess what?

I

LOVE

YOU

XOXO
