unique
graduation is saturday.
Im walking across a stage and getting a diploma that says i've spent 4 years getting more education.
It really only means i can get a better job with higher pay because i've payed oober amounts of money to get that piece of paper with my name on it.
Then maybe i'm supposed to find the love of my life and get married and have lots of ankle-biters until i grow old and my body doesn't work anymore and decides I'm done living because that's the way it's supposed to be.
Does everyone expect something different?
Do people wake up wanting to be normal?
Knowing that their life is a series of actions and people with experiences that aren't unlike there's.
Who decided this was the way we were supposed to live our lives?
And who told everyone that being unique was something you could actually accomplish?
Was it the same person who said "you're not alone" ?
If i'm not alone, and everyone has these same issues or problems or ends up wanting the same thing in life as I do - how does that make us unique?
I always thought, my entire life, that I was different.
That I wanted to make a difference that no one else would make.
And then one day i realized.
Everybody wants that.
Everybody wants, fears, craves, feels, hopes for, cherishes, contemplates, strives to attain the exact same thing - just in many different forms.
Being different is not unique.
Because everybody wants to be.
So what do i do now?
