First it was all about fitting in. And then, about standing out. You see, it's so much more complex than that.

I strive to be ordinary. An every-day sort of person. (Alright, I try a little harder sometimes) But ordinary is pretty darn good too. It's a reasonable expectation. A friendly expectation. And still an ambiguous expectation.

You can't take "ordinary" out of context. I mean if I were to travel up North, they might ask me where I'm from. I would have to tell them everywhere, but you get the idea. I might stick out in a crowd. Not on purpose though.

There are plenty of people in the same places that all want the same thing-some grand quality or way of life that sets them apart from everybody else. But they all want it. Not everybody, but a lot of bodies.

It might be a bit self-centered of me to say I don't think the same way most people do. However, I don't want this to hinder me. I want the same expectations. I don't want people to say, "Hey, look at that weirdo girl over there, she would never listen to really loud hip-hop music." OR "She would never come out and party with us. She would never take a sip of natural light beer." Neither of these things are exactly my preference, but I want to keep my options open!

They tell normal people here in America that all your wildest dreams come true-just work harder. Can I work harder at being ordinary? Or is that slacking off?

I just want to relate to other people. To feel the same way they do.

So much of the time we overlook how amazing we all are, just as we are.
