Be Yourself!



I meet a lot of people everyday. I hear even more and I see countless. Everyone seems to be trying to tell me “Be like me”. May be its just my thoughts. But one thing is for sure everyone’s trying to attract others towards them and make them like the way they want to be.
America wants the whole world to be Americans and Muslims are furious that everyone does not think like them. My dad wants me to be just like him and my little bro assumes that I am like him as he tells his stories. My girlfriend wanted me to be like her ex-boyfriend which I couldn’t be and she left me. 

I would die if I shall agree to my intelligent friend who wants me to be earning big bucks like him; thank god there’s my fellow rocker, who enjoys my company for a while, without asking me to act like him, but after a while even he wants me to rock the world. My teacher asks me everyday to be like someone, meanwhile, trying to persuade me to be like him.
The advertisers want me to fit to their products and the retailers want me to fit to their size. My dog wants me to be his girlfriend. My son wants me to be his friend’s dad. I listen to songs on my playlist and everyone’s singing “Be like me”. 
I agree to some and act as they want me to be, sometimes to make them happy, and other times to make myself happy.
The only person with whom I argue and disagree to be as he wants is me. I mute myself most of the times. But then at times like these I realize “BE YOURSELF” and the world shall follow. It does not matter if they don’t; you shouldn’t really bother. That’s it “Be Yourself, everyone else fall back to their own place and its fun to play games when everyone’s seated at their own place.”
