Every time someone used to say that everyone has something unique or special, all i could say was “Ahaa, what”? I never believed in this statement. True we might be different in some way or the other but different is not unique and there’s nothing bad about being different but not unique.
Like many others I have grown up watching and listening to the unique ones, Idolizing them, trying to be them. I had peers who knew right from the start what’s their passion in life..What they eventually want to be .But me the poor soul was the “jack” of all trades. They excelled in particular things..i averaged at most the things.I was not bad but I wasn’t excellent either. I was just avg J
There were the “well done” lot and the “badly performed” and then there was me an a few of my friends J.Trust me when I say that we tried for both the categories but never achieved either. There were people who were great at studies but bad at extra-curricular, others sucked at studies but excelled at extra-curricular. WE did both but were never the shining stars in either J
Back then I used to get upset and jealous at both the categories, but years later and still an average person by all means. I have accepted it and am proud of the fact “ I AM AN AVERAGE PERSON” J.I am different in my ways, settled in my means and contented by my life.
I am the person who gets up each morning, gets ready according to the set routine, gets to his/her job, slogs the day through, returns home and sleep. I am the person who loves sleeping more than doing something productive. I am the person who still treasures every compliment coming my way and each harsh statement made hurts still.
I am definitely not the iconic achiever who has the focus of her life who is doing work of his /her passion; instead I am doing what i like. I am not the one who is going out of the way but is following the old path coz it seems comfortable and nice J
Though some may say i take life easy and don’t break the boundaries …i like it that way J
I may have not had many epiphanies in life …but live a happy contented life with my near and dear ones. J
So all the average fellows like yours truly out there, smile cause we are different in our own ways J
