we are only told the stories of people who live incredible, spectacular lives. never those who live the unremarkable. we know, undoubtedly, what we are to do if we win a million dollars, find the perfect man, or become famous.
but what of those who live lives unaffected by anything exciting, extraordinary, life-changing? what of them?
what if we spend our life searching for the one trait, talent, experience that separates us, makes us unique? and what if, after years of this desperate quest, we fail to discover even the smallest of things?
what if i live a life unmarked by anything noteworthy?
what then?
