Just average things??!!

There has been endless times that we feel giving up is the only option we have. That to accept defeat gracefully is the best thing we can do.

Back in school, all of us came across those popular kids, who were every thing that you were not and always wanted to be. They looked great in their school uniforms, their grade sheet looked good, there houses were no less than an exhibition of trophies in every field possible under the sun. The moment you enter their room, you rethink the whole purpose of your existence and the possibility of starting all over again.

If you never went through all of that, then yes darling, you are the person I am talking about.

 Personally sometimes I feel like punching all those movie makers and writers who make a less than average loser personality their lead and by the end of their story they manage to become the most successful of the lot. We connect with them at the beginning of the tale and by the time we turn the last page, we are completely convinced that, I am going to win.

It motivates you to the extent, that next day at your sports prelims you are ready to give long jump a shot. Standing in the queue you see all those state level athletes of your school performing and you think, today is your day. You are going to perform better than everyone. All the people standing around would clap and woot for you. All your crushes who have friend zoned you for a zillion times would come up to you and ask you out, and you would turn them down in all your glories. After all, they are late!

Yes, today is going to be the day when everyone will learn to value you.

When your turn finally arrives, you speed up to the line. You know you are going to have the longest jump anyone has ever seen.

But before you realize you already landed, probably less than half the way, in a puddle from last night’s rain.

It’s the end. You just became a laughing stock and you wish you had Harry Potter’s invisible cloak.

Now you probably need another story to motivate you.

Yes, these incidents did happen with me a lot of times. A LOT! And I also know that whether people admit it or not, I am not the only one.

Yes, it feels bad. It feels unjust.

Injustice will always be a part of our lives. We will always have that one happy go lucky friend who enjoyed every moment of their life, while we would be struggling to settle down in life, and still end up at a better place than us.

Its frustrating. You want to hit someone in the face.

But, have you ever considered the other perspective of it?

You have experienced it all in life. You know how cold the water in the puddle was. The tickling of the small tadpoles in it. The sudden adrenaline rush before falling. The pain of struggling. You have come out stronger, from all the heart breaks that you thought you wont survive.

You no more do stuff in expectation of a certificate or a medal. You do it for the love of doing it. You do not need to put on your best clothes everyday to maintain your standards. But when you do, you turn heads.

You experience all the emotions in life, and you would probably be having a photo album with all expressions a person can have.

Trust me, you are strong and lucky .You have had every feeling under the sun. Every time you fell, you have stood up, ready to fall again. You do things for yourself and do not need to prove anything to anyone. Your hardships have taught you to always stand up to take your stance, even when you are left alone. No matter what happens, no matter how hurt you are, you are confident that you will move on, and begin again.

 You are the coolest person you will ever come across!
