Trust Yourself (#Trust30)

Imitation is Suicide. Insist on yourself; never imitate. – Ralph Waldo Emerson
Write down in which areas of your life you have to overcome these suicidal tendencies of imitation, and how you can transform them into a newborn you – one that doesn’t hide its uniqueness, but thrives on it. There is a “divine idea which each of us represents” – which is yours?
Hmmm... is it bad that I cannot really even understand this question?  I have always tried since I was a teenager, which was all imitation, some (blue black dyed hair) rebellion, and general havoc, to be myself. Sometimes I try a "fashion" on as imitation and fail terribly. I guess that's it. I'm tired. I hope I like tomorrow's prompt better.
