"Look for your own. Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings."
–- AndrĂ© Gide
The one and only. That's you. No Junior, no Trip. First time, last time, only time you ever existed.
Show time! Time to shine! Time to do that which only you can do, and do it in your own inimitable style.
Why else are you here? Surely not to be a pale imitation of somebody else. Surely not to be a clone, a poser, a second rate version of a first rate person.
I know you. Maybe not personally, but I know you. You are beautiful, idiosyncratic, wildly unique. You are a friggin' snowflake of a human being -- there is not another one like you anytime, anywhere!
Step up to the plate, now. Take your best swings, or lay down that soft, unexpected, squeeze bunt.
Be you, only you. Be younique.
