Self Expression

“To express oneself in his own unique way,” that’s my own definition at least, each of us has our own definition on how to express ourselves, the way we speak, appear, and act are the ways to express ourselves.

We have our own characteristic to set ourselves apart from other people, we all have different talents and skills to make difference, even the most obvious one can make a difference.

A best friend once wrote, “everyone can be read by his own expressions,” and this has proven to be true, people can see our characteristic by the way we talk and act, we often see people by their “covers”.

But we all heard the phrase, “never judge a book by it’s cover”. What it means we shouldn’t see people by their looks but it depends on how we see them to critic or to appreciate our difference.

Many people now want to be other people than themselves. But they don’t realize that they have their own uniqueness to set apart and better than other people.

Now, many people are afraid of having difference and even ashamed of their race, religion, but that makes this world full of diversity and uniqueness.

There are many people has proven that it is tolerated to be different, succeed in their talents and do something right and do creative way.

It’s unfortunate to see people with unique talents are being underestimate by their surroundings, if environment is support the talent can be developed until the full potential. But, if the environment is negative it also hits mentality of depression confidence self.

You are allowed to be yourself. Express yourself in your own way. Don’t be afraid of what people say and only you know what to do with your life and the choice is up to you to be the hero or the villain of your own story.
