when i was younger, i was probably "following the herd". but as i got older, i got comfortable with myself and i know what i want, what i don't want, what i like, what i don't like, what i think is right and what i think is wrong. i guess it's called the process of growing up.i just want to put this message out there. don't always follow the herd. sometimes they might not even be right. you might as well be an individual and be proud at that.

I think everyone goes through this. We all start by following a crowd... and when we believe we're ready we let go and take that risk.
i love this..
and its so true.

I do believe that this is true, only these days, doing the opposite feels more mainstream in a way. It's been such a "thing" to be original it's almost impossible to be anymore. I think maybe the most important thing is to figure out what's right for you and know why you follow or don't follow. It's more important to just be happy with what you do in life.
this is such sweet advice. i'm definitely going through the growing up face right now. (: thank you!
this is exactly what i needed. i find it hard building up my own choices but this has gave me hope. but this is completely true and i hope that i'll learn to become my own person, just without taking it over the top. thank you for sharing this.
so true.
I used to follow the herd, but when I stopped I started to live. It was the best decision ever to do my own thing! =)

so true!!!
love it :)
I know I'm not completely at ease with myself and who I am but I am so happy that at 16 I've accepted that I won't ever follow the herd. It jsut isn't worth it when you can be yourself.
Love the last paragraph! It's so true.
what a lovely quote, I like it!^^
Amen. ♥
Being a sheep and following the herd is something I can honestly say I didn't do when I was at school and I'm glad I didn't because even though I hadn't entirely figured out exactly who I was as a person then, I only did things because I wanted to. I was picked on because of it but people are always going to find something to pick on you for anyway.

i just found your lovely blog and am overjoyed that i did!
gorgeous layout and designs. totally agree with this piece of enlightened logic, learning what your own deal-breakers are saves a lot of heartache. wonderful lesson, thank you!!!!
oh my god, you just read my mind. i've been thinking about this following the herd vs being yourself thing a lot lately. and that sentence is so simple, so clear and wise that i think i need to stop thinking about this. 'cause it's no use. it is all there. in that sentence.
i just want to say that your blog gives me so much energy and hope. i was actually feeling rather depressed and blue today so i thought i'd come to your blog to find some beautiful pictures and thoughts. and i did. feeling a lot better now. thankyou <3
Here here! If we were all the same how boring the world would be!
