Ever take a look at your life and realize it's very average?

Sometimes, I look back on all the things I've done in life, and I realize most of it is just "meh."

Someone has to make us above-average people feel better about ourselves

Only before I got out of high school. After high school my life has never been average, or normal.

No. My life is not average. In some senses I wish it were, but I hold hope for the abnormality still.

There are obvious social constraints that restrict many of us from being "above average". We all have statuses and roles to play in this world and some of us just can't get to be stars.

If you ever become a parent however, my advice is to entertain and support any interest your child has in life to the fullest extent of your heart.

Somewhat recently, I thought my life was average. I've been making more effort to spice up my life, actually. Picked up some new hobbies, made a new circle of friends, been more outgoing. I've had a fear of heights all my life and I was given the opportunity to give Rock Climbing a try. Now I'm hooked! I'm booking a trip to the Grand Canyon for a Hiking/Camping/Climbing excursion! Going to Vegas along the way too. I'm really trying my damnedest to live an above average life from here on out. ;)

Mine is slightly below average.

I wouldn't call 3 inches slightly below average :p

Sometimes I look at my life and think it's below average. However, other times I look at it and am amazed to know what I know and to be where I am in life at the age of 28. I think part of it is because I've been incredibly busy for about the past 7 years. I haven't had a lot of free time or much of a social life, but I've learned and accomplished a lot. I'm very close to putting that busy time behind me and putting much more time into my family, friends, and hobbies. I can lament all I want about missed opportunities for fun, but when I really think about it, I've been very blessed to have had the opportunities that I have.

I loved that commercial in your avatar. LMAO

But what is average?
I don't think my life is average. My life is My life. It's been a series of events that no one else has been through. There for it is not average.

You are all figments of my imagination and so I can accurately attest that based on what I know about everyone, only 60&#37; of you are average or below average.

Dude ... you're the above average one there ... treat people decently? Check. Maintained your humanity during your most difficult time? Check. Don't sell yourself short because of her.
