"Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it." C. S. Lewis
It seems to me that our culture encourages young people to "be themselves" simply by being what everyone else is being. The idea of our being original is far overstated at best. As human beings, our only real liberty is the choice of who we will follow in life: God or Satan. Anything good we do is made possible and adds to the glory of God. Anything evil is simply fueling the power of the adversary. In our heart of hearts, everyone knows this.

Hey Daniel, I have a new blog at singingofthestars.blogspot.com I thought I'd just tell you. :D
I remember trying to be like everyone else when I was about 13. I was so miserable and majorly depressed. You have to find what you have a passion for and just do it because you love doing it. Some people may insist that they have a passion for what is wrong, but often that can be turned around to something good. E.g. doing drugs - If you are really good at finding the veins, be a phlebotomist.
