Being Average may be the greatest thing you ever do

Great to be average

I am trying to do a lot right now, (hence why my postings have slowed down), but I am being haunted by every insecurity I feel like I have ever had. For a little back story, I was born average. I grew up what I thought was middle class, maybe just a little below middle class, I went to public school, I graduated high school, and I mainly got B's and C's. In case it's been awhile since you have been in school that literally translates to sometimes above average but mainly average. I didn't even graduate high school with honors (a fairly basic task). Now there are some other things in my life that are like smoke and mirrors. They make me look like I am above average on the outside, for example, I speak well, something a lot of really nice white people would not let me forget growing up. I read exceptionally well and retain obscure trivia facts. Although, aside from fun party conversation starters they tend to be fairly useless. I am good at acting and performing, and with that and 50 cents I can buy myself a 50 cent pack of gum and keep doing what I love. To be fair I did get some opportunities to perform as a job and get paid, but for the most part within the acting community that is pretty average. So why am I telling you all of these things? Because I recently became FED UP with people telling me, "Oh, I thought you had a degree? You are so smart."
      I am not any less smart because of my formal education or lack there of. I am not any less responsible with money, because of my current financial state or my past financial states. So why do we belittle ourselves for not being great. I have come to the realization that being average is great. Now don't be confused, this is not a stop trying to be great, settle for average post. This post is a "if you try your best and come up average don't fret" post.

Shoot for the moon and even if you miss you land among the stars.

Food for thought, think of all the amazing people in the news and they will always idolize being normal/average. Being average is not bad it's relate-able and it makes your successes that much more awesome. Why else, would Jennifer Lawrence, Anna Kendrick, and other celebrities set their talent next to their normal selves. Let that sink in. Amazingly talented people idolize being average. They idolized me. Stars idolize you. Now if that's not something to get you up in the morning and start living your best average life you better do that. Why is this post important to me? Because if I don't get into the top college and don't get a high end degree and end up average, I hope I can remind myself that sometimes average is okay. Average, keeps our cars running, average keeps us entertained, average goes to the Walmart parking lot and talks for hours with good friends in deep conversation. Average people change the world, by doing average things that extraodinary people take for granted. Like after a long day of being exceptional they are still able to get a burger from an average person working a late/early shift. Thank you average people. Keep being awesomely average.
