Aiming to be different.

Everyone wants to be different, unique, remembered, in that sense we are all the same, which is quite ironic. "maybe she's scared her life won't leave any traces, caught up like everyone else" - Frank Turner - 'Reasons not to be an Idiot'. Truth is, most things have already been done, most thoughts already thought, most inventions invented.
It's quite sad really, we all want to go down in history, desperately clinging to TV shows like X Factor and Dragon's Den, as if they make us any more important than anyone else.
What's the point in having your name remembered for an invention or a quote, when no one will remember WHO you really were, your querks, the things that made you happiest.
We cling to our little habbits and querks, they make up who we are and make us feel unique.....until we go on Facebook and see someone made a group for each one of our unique querks, and hundreds of other people seem to share them.
Realistically, with all the people in the world clinging to be somebody, whatever that means, it's pretty hard to be unique, yet we will always thrive to be.
