Lets be honest - 2
2. Every once in awhile I get disappointed in myself for leading an average lifestyle. I'm average and I hate average. I'm 5'2", weigh 125 lbs., have medium length hair, medium skin tone, wear a size 7.5 shoe, drive a Chevy Malibu, and live in a split-level home. I work an average job that pays an average salary. My nose was above average, but I've already told that story. I got it fixed to be, well, average. (sigh) Then again, I'm 29 years old. I've got time to make changes. If I were more than average would I be bitching about the pressure and stress and the commitment it takes to be the best? Would I wish I were average again? Probably. Ok, not probably. Yes. It's like being a football player and making it to the pros. When the football player retires he goes back to coaching high school or pee wee ball because it's honest and full of heart. I appreciate my life. I wouldn't trade it for anything, but sometimes I want to make the pros.

I don't think there's anything wrong with average. I live a VERY average life and I love it. Only thing I'd change is being in shape and sheddin some lbs. That would be nonaverage of me - so maybe I'll strive for that. Shake it up a bit. Otherwise, I'm content with the average life!
I feel like I'm never going to be average and I'm jealous of everyone who is. That sounds conceited, but I don't mean it too. I just want to find joy in normal things and stop feeling like I need to prove something to myself in order to feel settled. I either have to over acheive or not try at anything, and the things I under acheive at bring me down to levels well below a healthy bit of disappointment.
GGRRR.
I have issues.
