<p>I know how you feel, and I agree that without individualality, creativity and imperfection we would not be human, that if all we did was mimic what was popular or the ideal way, we would cease to be truelly alive, we would nolonger be human we would just be copies of the same photo leaving the world a shade of dull grade and stagnant dreams.</p>

<p>You really made my day, it&#39;s just I&#39;ve seen friends fall into this mindset that you&nbsp;</p><p>have to be perfect all the time, you have to be who everyone else chooses you to be.&nbsp;</p><p>And that&#39;s the reality these days, and it scares me. we are all born innocent and vulnerable&nbsp;</p><p>and it&#39;s up to us to choose, or life as we know it will be lifeless. We seek creativity and thrive for&nbsp;</p><p>originality, but in a world where we are told to be like everyone else it&#39;s seems impossible.&nbsp;</p><p>Without the mockingbirds there is no hope. Every day that number decreases, our world is now consumed with these robotic critics&nbsp;</p><p>that show to you how they view you should act,what social group to be in, and honestly who you are.</p><p>so what are we without creativity, originality, imagination? To answer that question, hence the obvious we are nothing we are ghosts</p><p>not living to live, but living to please.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br />&nbsp;</p>
