Many of my ideas are not original. I take a lot of things from other people, I really enjoy reading people's quotations, and a lot of me is based on what I take in from others. I remember I used to not like showing my 'favorite quotations' because I felt like my favorite quotes were a part of me. And if I show a part of me, I might get judged. People might see me in a different way. Not necessarily a bad thing, but something I didn't really want. Another reason I didn't share was because some of these quotes are so personal to me. They are what made me unique, made me who I am today. If everybody knows the sayings I live by, and they adopt those principles, then I just become less and less of an individual. I didn't want everybody to see all the things I've been exposed to. I've realized what a selfish thought that is. If anyone can benefit from something that helped me, why not share it? So I will start sharing, I hope that people will find these as useful as I have.
