Reminding myself that nothing is original and it's alright to be inspired. It doesn't mean that you're copying and it doesn't mean that you don't have anything to contribute in your own right but just a reality that in a way, we're all dependent on each other.
Are these not your own words coming from your own mind that nobody else has access to? Then why can't you accept them as yours? Sure, they are not yours alone, might not have started out as something of your own, but to get to this point - to the point where they have materialised, I honestly believe it's all you. And I hope that you believe it too.
I feel that I can't write too many paragraphs because then I start getting conscious about the way I'm writing, if I'm being coherent yada yada. It's as if I've been chained to a wall all this time and I was running, running and enjoying my 'freedom' until slowly, I noticed the tinkling of chains tied around my ankle and I realised I was tethered all along. So before I run till I eventually fall and can no longer move, I'm going to stop here for now.
A bit sad, ain't it.
