What’s funny is the fact that the most desirable attributes of these people are nothing but developed and cultured thoughts. And these things come naturally to people who shine bright. The other guys just try to ape these thoughts, in an embarrassing attempt to recreate some of that magic. Sadly,- what looks beautiful as a natural quotient can be extremely funny and disgusting when replicated manually. Stop replicating feelings; else you’ll turn into one of those duplicate personalities. They’re wannabes. You don’t have to become one!","author":"Shomprakash Sinha Roy","tags":["humor","indian-writing","personality","saahil","shom","wannabe"],"id":222230,"author_id":"Shomprakash+Sinha+Roy"},{"text":"I can be anything you want but definitely not a wannabe.","author":"Pushpa Rana","tags":["identity","wannabe"],"id":324864,"author_id":"Pushpa+Rana"},{"text":"Our best analyst thinks it's not a tactical design.
