Diary of an average girl.

Average: someone who isn't extraordinary but isn't a failure either. 

Average is a word that is often looked down upon. Why is it so terrible being an average human being? I am an average girl, have been one my whole life or at least I think so. 

Never achieved anything great in life. Never won anything as such. Was never even very ambitious. So does being an average girl make me any less of a human? If anything I believe it makes me more human. I'm like most humans, average.

Scrolling through social media, I've always wanted to follow someone who I can relate to. Whose struggles are the same as mine, whose understanding of life is just as confused as mine, who's honest and real about their experiences. I've even stumbled across some influencers like that but most of them have been centered around a specific topic, none of them speaking about life though.

Very often, their reality would be so different than most of ours that no matter how honest their posts would be, they would never be relatable for average people like me.

Its extremely difficult in our time to not end up comparing ourselves with what we see online, this always leaves us feeling dejected or low about ourselves. Moreover, with so many influencers out there its hard not to feel like "What the fuck am I doing with my life?" We single ourselves out, begin feeling lonely, and if exposed to this long enough it can even lead to depression.

That brings me to why I started this blog. I am not like most humans in one way, I'm extremely emotional, everything affects me, I care about others more than I ever will about myself. Sometimes, this makes it extremely difficult for me to understand humans and express myself the right way. Writing has always helped me with such issues and allows me to put things into perspective. I thought what if I could simply express myself simultaneously, putting something relatable out there so that no one has to feel alone again then why not?

This is my effort at doing exactly that, trying to put myself out there just as I am, flaws and all, and if it makes even a single person feel a little less lonely then its enough.
