"In a world full of carbon copies, I rather be an original"-Markesha
So many people imitate what they see on TV. Now a days, everyone wants to be a Barbie, a Bad B*tch, Pop Mollies and Turn Up. What happened to being yourself? Now a days, young women want to be Strippers and Basketball Wives because that's what the media is flashing everywhere. No offense, but I don't want my daughter to come up to me and say "Mommy, I want to be a stripper when I grow up." Why doesn't the media show any educated women anymore? Why isn't there a reality show starring women who are successful and trying to do something positive? If there is a show out there like that currently, you can guarantee that it's not getting as many views as the other ratchet shows that we are viewing. I must admit, I have had my share of watching some of the reality TV shows and the fights but you can only deal with so much.
I'm glad that I stand out because I feel better when I am not doing what everyone else thinks is "in". There are so many talented individuals in the world who have so much to offer but waste it because they want to be like the next person. It's okay to have someone you look up to but if the person you look up to isn't giving back, showing positivity and teaching knowledge, why would you want that person to be your role model? I read a comment under a former "Bad Girls Club" cast members photo that stated "OMG, you are totally my role model. I look up to you." This reality show star was known for causing the most fights in the house and bullying people. Really???? She is your role model??? It's okay to promote violence on TV but let a show that involves kindness be premiered on TV, I'm sure it would be cancelled after 2 weeks.
What I'm basically trying to say is this.......be YOURSELF! We were all created with something special. Show it. Use your talents to help others and show your creativity. Stop trying to be what you see on TV and become who you were CALLED to be.
