Be Original

I love this quote. It speaks such truth and I feel it is something we all must strive to do. 

I have seen so many people steal and copy off of Natsume and others in the many years I have

been online. I don't mind most of the time because some are inspired. However, there

have been a handful who bluntly try to steal my character as well as others. When people do that

I feel like they are just so uncreative they can't come up with something on their own. I have always

been a different kind of person. I don't follow trends, I don't do things others do. I have just always

tried to make my own path in life and I feel thats something everyone should try to do. Its one thing

to be inspired by something, but to just utterly rip it off without paying homage ... is just wrong. 

I made this picture to promote being yourself and not trying to be like everyone else.
