“But you’re so boring!”
Her words shattered me. I don’t blame her, I am boring, but I don’t want to be told that.
“These are the most exciting years of your life!” The older people around me say, in hopes of inspiring…whatever it is they think they’re inspiring me to do.
“You can’t live like you belong in a movie!”
None were wrong, but they weren’t exactly right though.
I am somewhat boring. I’m a teacher who loves to read and write, who wants to travel but is too nervous to go alone, but can’t go with a group because I don’t have enough friends.
Maybe these will be the days I look back as “the best”, but for now I’m just going through the motions, trying my hardest to feel like I’m making a difference.
I’m no movie character. I’m not a nerdy, quiet, quirky girl who goes on the get the star quarterback at the end of the book. I’m just me.
Every day, every one is going through their own story. Subplots unraveling with their every interaction, and yet we look at one another as boring, as unworthy, unlike the heroes we have grown to love.
I challenge you to get to know someone new. Get to know their story.
Love,
