Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else.

For my very first post I decided to talk about how important it is for us teen girls to be and individual. As we grow up and we gravitate to our group of friends who we relate best with, we start falling into each other’s interest. Even if it’s not we are into or personally find interesting. It’s cool, it looks good, and everyone looks at her when she does this or she wears that. It’s cool to follow the latest trends and all but be original be yourself. Why not be a trend-setter rather than a trend-follower? Why not be a leader rather than a follower? Be yourself. Your strong you’re beautiful you’re smart and your YOU. You have the power to do and be whatever you want, but you can’t do that hidden behind someone else’s shadow. So I leave you, for now, with these words by Judy Garland: Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else
