Originality..Where Has It Gone ?

Why are so many people fake? Is it honestly hard to be yourself? I've had  "friendships" come and go as a result of  girls who didn't know how to be themselves around certain people. It's pathetic and even more distasteful to see how they start to act among their own "new" group of friends. It's so unattractive for a girl to try and be like someone else to please others. They say "imitation is the best form of flattery". However, isn't it quite flattering to always remain true to yourself? I was watching the Tyra Banks Show yesterday and ladies were brought on the show who perform cosmetic surgery on THEMSELVES. As a result of not going to an actual professional, these ladies surely paid the ultimate price for "beauty". Why try to enhance insecurities? NOBODY is PERFECT. You have people starving in 3rd World Countries that need money much more than those that spend it on non-essentials. You have people that are of average weight who battle with mirrors about being thin or fat. Everyone is beautiful in their own light. Most are attractive to others, some to very Few. But in this one life to live you have to wake up each morning and no matter what, Be Proud To Be *YOU*. To Be Fake Is A Sign Of Weakness. To Be Real Takes Courage. Originality. WHERE HAS IT GONE?
