The Imitation Game

The first step to learning something and the pathway to find yourself.

Start imitating.

Nobody is born with a style or voice.

You do, but it’s lost so deep within you due to social conditioning that if you go back in your past to find yourself, there’s a risk of losing what’s left of you.

We don’t enter the world knowing who we are. We begin by pretending to be our heroes.

We learn by imitating.

I’m talking about -

- practice - repetition - not plagiarism

Plagiarism is trying to pass someone else’s work off as your own.

Imitating is about reverse engineering.

Like a mechanic taking apart a car to understand how it works using first principles.

“Imitate what you love. Blindly imitate. At the end of this imitation cycle, you’ll find yourself.” — Yohji Yamamoto

I hope you meet your real self. Then, I hope to meet him/ her too.
