Uniquely You

"Art is the most intense mode of individualism that the world has known."
Oscar Wilde

What does this quote make you think of?

What does it make you realize about your identity?


Probably nothing, and that's OK! What I want to prove to you though, is the power of your uniqueness. Just by being yourself, you put off a whole new level of confidence. By an individual, you set an example for everybody else, that it's ok to be yourself. But how does this relate to art, you may be asking.

In more ways than one, you, just a simple human being, are a beautiful work of art. Unfortunately though, in today's world, being "you" isn't supported very widely. And because of that, originality is slowly dying.

Some people use their bodies as their canvas with tattoos and piercings, others use their words. And even though you may be following the popular scheme with the way you dress or act, no matter how hard you try to "fit in" you will always be judged. It could be the way your nose is shaped, or the way you talk, YOU WILL BE JUDGED. It is a proven fact that judging people is in our blood and humanity. It is what makes us human, the constant comparing ourselves to other people. But the trick is to not let that judging get the better of you.

Even in today's pop culture, where everyone is trying to get attention and be different in their own way, they get judged just as badly, if not worse. The new obsession is Miley Cyrus. Because of her new video "Wrecking Ball" She is getting a mass amount of haters because of the way she acts in the video. Guess what?? She's just being unique in her own way!!!  And yet no one can seem to understand how important it is to keep this idea alive.

Because we are art in our way,  hand crafted by whatever God you believe in, we must be proud of what we look and act like. No one else can be like us, so remember that the next time you look in the mirror. Being yourself is more powerful than you think.
