Have you experienced/experiencing idolising someone? Or wanting to be that someone? To the point that you do what he/she does, act the way that person act, speak, wear the kind of clothes that he/she wear.

I'll give you an example;

Oli London (British influencer | English Internet personality and singer. ) Source.

He gets 18 surgeries just to be look like one of the members of famous Korean boy band group named BTS (Bangtan Sonyeodan) which is Park Ji-min. Source

Why Oli chose to be like Jimin? Because He don't appreciate what he have. He's not contented on what he looks. He want to be like others than being who he is.

I just wanna share you that story. Please don't be on that point. It's okay if you do what others do, if that's right, if that doesn't hurt anyone, if that's not wrong in God's eyes.

The one you idolise may be an artist, a famous person or someone that you really admire. If you already experience it, how does it feel? If you're experiencing it, how do you feel?

I have a friend who is a huge fan of Billie Eilish (an American singer-songwriter).

My friend imitated how Billie dress, move and act, she even coloured her hair, though she can't be exactly that person no matter how hard she tries and no matter how much she likes it. She wants to be that person because she sees how talented it is. But the sad thing is, she doesn't notice the good characteristics that she has. She doesn't know how valuable and unique is she.

I just want you to know that we are all different from each other. Others can do what you can't, but there's something that you can do but others can't.

It's ok to admire someone, but not to the point that you will lose yourself, that you don't know who you truly are anymore.

To know who you truly are, you need to accept who you are. You need to accept the fact and not the lies that the enemies are telling you. Maybe you think that if you become that person you will be also liked by others. Hey! Some people like you for being you! (Don't expect to be liked by everyone.) You just need to be you.

You just need to see and appreciate the people around you.

The first step to be yourself is to know who you are. It's not your name that I'm talking about. Let's say your name is Zeya, but who is Zeya? Is she a person who always smile and laugh even in her dark moments? Is she a person who hates being corrected or just don't want to be shouted at her face at tell how wrong she is and not advising what to do next time? Is she what the enemies are telling who she is?

Don't make yourself believe in lies, others are already making you believe it. Aren't you interested in who you are? Did you ask yourself who you are? Let me tell you this, YOU ARE A CHILD OF GOD.

1 John 3:1 "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him."

A child of God who is SAVED, FORGIVEN and LOVED by HIM.👆

You are fearfully and wonderfully made by God. (Read Psalm 139:14).

We are all created by Him and He blesses us in different ways. Some are singers, dancers, actors/actresses, etc. Some are left-handed, some are right-handed. Some are tall, some are small. But still, we don't need to have what others have, what we need is God because if we have God,we have everything we need (Read John 14:8).

You don't need to be like others. Be yourself. Value yourself. Love yourself like how God loves you.
