Conforming

Why do oh so many people conform to what society wants them to be? Or so they can fit in? Or say they can try to be friends with every single person they meet? Or so they can try to get the guy/girl?

What has happened to being an individual? What's happened to being who God created you to be? Why make life a competition? Why see who can be friends with more people? Why see who can have the coolest car/clothes/friends...ect.

This is something that's strongly been on my heart recently. God created us all as individuals for a specific purpose. Seriously, how boring would this world be if we were all alike? Think about it. You want to be like everyone else, yet EVERYONE is different!! Yes, there's a lot of things you can have in common with a person, but no two people are exactly alike. Why conform to something less than what God has created you to be?!

I honestly believe that when you conform to something you're not, you're bringing yourself down in a way.  Seriously, I don't care how many times you've heard this, but God loves you just the way you are. He always have. Always will. He created you the way you are for a purpose and a reason. He put those things you like or dislike in you for a reason. He didn't want for any two people to be exactly alike, or He would've done it. Because He easily could have.

Now, when you conform to something you're not, you're taking away from what God has created. You were created with  a PURPOSE! Don't conform and forget about your purpose, whether you know your purpose yet or not. Be the one and only YOU!

I have found that when you pretend to be something you're not, you're not happy. You have to put on this facade. And then you have to keep up with it to keep everyone else thinking you're this person that you're really not at all. What kind of life is that? Really? I personally have maybe 3 or 4 really close friends who I can trust and talk to about anything. I'd much rather have that than have hundreds of friends who I don't know if I can trust them or not, or being their friend means being something I'm not. True friends accept you for who you are. I'll tell you something, I'm the happiest I've probably ever been. And it's because I'm accepting who I am. I'm proud to be myself. I don't care about how many people I can become friends with. I don't care if so and so is gonna like my outfit. I don't care if this guy or that guy is gonna find me attractive. I just DON'T CARE. In the span of eternity, that's not gonna matter one bit.

So many people will conform so a certain guy/girl will like them. Listen to me, if you have to change for someone to like you, they're not worth it. You can't keep that act up forever. The true you will eventually come out. And then what?

Anyway, I don't know if any of this is getting anywhere with you, but it's what's in my head and I have to get it out someway, so I blog. :)
