Ok I am almost in panic mode, I bleached my teeth the last two nights and they are so sensitive this morning I cab barely drink anything. For those of you who know my infatuation with Diet Coke you can see why this poses as a problem. But apparently Beck think it's hilarious because he will not stop smiling at me. All I have to do is look at him, he is like neener neener neener!
I decided I am going to give a thought of the day. Mostly because everyday I have an "ah ha" moment, as Oprah would put it, where something clicks that someone said or I thought of. So here is my thought for today, actually this is yesterday's.
So anyway recent conversations have got me thinking about the obsessiveness some of us have about being different or people stealing our ideas. I think that is so ironic I am so guilty of it I am sure. But the ironic part of it is most of the ideas we get we get from some one else. So isn't it fun we get snuffy when someone does something we did first but really most of the time we just saw someone else doing it. So I think from now we shouldn't worry and try so much to be "different" and just try to be more of ourselves. Whoever that is it's probably more different than trying to be different since that is what everyone else is trying to be. I think there is enough of "that type" out there. So I want to just focus on being who I am, doing what I like, stating how I feel and not worrying about if it's different from the next person or not. Because most of the time when we just be confident and be who we are at our core than it's pretty freaking awesome and unique. And that is when we are most happy. It's when we are trying to fit a picture that our society creates that we begin to feel unhappy and inadequate.

*Amen*
I hate bleaching my teeth but I love how they look afterwards. It hinders my Diet Coke with Lime addiction....I try the strips every other day and that helps.
I am with supalinds: AMEN.
I totally agree. It kind of goes with your thought right above it too. So many girls try to make themselves up into something they're not just so they can attract attention. Everyone would be different if they were just themselves. I think the hardest part, like you pointed out, is the confidence it takes to just be yourself.
Your completely right on, like always. It is hard sometimes when you get an idea, from whatever, to not want to make it your own. Every now and then I'll see something cool and want to do it or something like it. And when i do it's so hard not to become possessive of the idea even though it wasn't mine to begin with. I'll be totally honest, not much of anything i do is 100% my idea. But at the same time, isn't that part of being creative? Taking things and ideas and doing your own thing with them and making them your own? I love you Toni! You just seriously take no prisoners!
