Your Own Path

Each person is his or her person. Each person has their own path to take. This path is best forged by yourself. The easy path is following in the footsteps of another person. Matching each step of theirs with a step of your own. Following every move, every breath. The best path is to make your own path. Keep individuality and forge your own path. If you seem to be following in someone's footsteps, then do something. Show them that you are your own person and not some mindless follower. A follower, not an individual, does not flourish as well in life. Lead your own path do not follow in the shadow of someone else.

We search for something that is fake more than something that is real. We search for a significant other who looks very great from the outside with little imperfections, but has nothing on the inside. The inside is a empty as the fake fruit I observed. sad, sad, sad...
