I used to be plagued by the idea that I would never be able to contribute anything truly original to the world. That I was just a replica, a mouthpiece for all the people and ideas that I had interacted with...
All my thoughts just repetitive ruminations that had already come to be in some other place and time, and by some other mind that wasn’t mine. But, I am now at #peace with this fact.

I will be proud to be a product of the cumulative ideologies of history, and present. I will reproduce only those ideas which I deem valuable, and perhaps, in my unique absorptions of unoriginal thoughts, something new may emerge.

Thus leaves me the task not of attempting to find true creativity, but of becoming a summation of the people who I respect the most. Being a replica need not be negative, and in fact, I would argue it gives greater value to the others who’s lessons you try to absorb
