Listening to John Legend's song ordinary people, made me think about being ordinary. He uses the phrase ‘ordinary people’ in a fantastically simple way. The simplicity of life and being a person.
Maybe sometimes I contradict myself. But I love being ordinary. Yes, I’m glamorizing the idea of being common.
I find that people are afraid of being unremembered. They want to be special and have attention all the time. The worst thing you can do is over complicate your life.
But I want to be myself, as ordinary as I am, I consider that a great thing. I always find myself saying this to little girls, but being simple is the best advice i have ever given someone.
I have realized the power of making your life simple. I’m not saying to dull yourself or turn the special life you have off. But take life a little slower.
Everyone knows that money can not equate to happiness. But neither can fame, attention, or living extravagantly can fill a void in your life.
Also another argument that could be made, is no one is ordinary or extra ordinary. That type of thinking makes you feel inferior. Don't classify yourself. Don’t think of yourself as ordinary or special, just try to live life simply and experience the most basic and greatest emotions ever.
And just because you consider yourself and your life ordinary, doesn’t mean you can’t do extraordinary things.
I feel like society is telling us, that something is wrong with us if we do the typical everyday life things. People now have a fear of being ordinary. It’s not being ordinary, it’s called being human and that is not a bad thing.
