Celebs, models, idols.

We follow, try to emulate, immitate.

But what if this effort to become someone we are not is based on a false image? A facade? An illusion?

What is these people we so desire to embody are struggling in an effort ti be more like us behind closed doors.

They act stupid to fit in, get plastic surgery to become "beautiful", and strip off they're clothes at the command of the business industry.

We be ourselves to fit in, get in clothes we like to feel more beautiful than we are, and strip off our clothes to feel sexy.

Yes, we may put on a facade. A facade that we are strong when we are weak, that we can even we can't and that it's easy even we know it is imposssible hard.

To us, they may be idols. But to them we are the idols.

I want people to know that the people we envy, usually aren't worth envying. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence and they are perfect just being yourself. Stop trying to become someone you're not, and just be you.
