If everyone's ordinary...no one is.
I realize the title of this post is dramatic, and really I just take every opportunity I can to make references similar to lines from The Incredible's, but think about it. You don't live an ordinary life. They say that in 7ish billion people on planet earth there are about 6 people who look very similar to you. Your doppelgangers. But the thing with these physically similar humans is...that that's all they are. Physically similar. No one thinks like you. Even close identical twins are entirely different. Even though they look the same, and are in the same classes, and live in the same household, those attributes don't mean they will have the same opinions, or the same idea's or beliefs. Where am I going with this? Good question. I am just thinking out loud. I guess all I'm saying that when we classify ourselves as "normal," or "ordinary," we absentmindedly make it harder for ourselves to believe that our specific minds and brains and hearts can be unique enough to think thoughts never thought by anyone else. Idea's that only we can think. Problems only we can solve. Remember that even the slightest events in our lives can separate our way of thinking and feeling from everyone on earth. Don't discard your dreams and ideas. Because even if you think you're "nothing special," you are entirely you, and not anyone in the world can do exactly what you can do. Even your doppelgangers.
