Humble Introductions

Well hey there. Before we move onto more "blog-appropriate" topics of discussion, lets clear a few things up. Well one thing really.

I'm not really exceptionally good at anything. And I never have been. Now before you write me off as either a) a self-centered brat fishing for your compliments or b) an insecure soul searching for your attention, hear me out. I don't neccessarily consider it a bad thing. In fact, I see it as one of the strongest aspects of my life and personality.

You see, when people excell at something, they know it. And when a person knows he's number one, he gets defensive about the title. But who can blame him? Being at the top definitely has its benefits and it's the goal of so many just to reach that top spot and overthrow the guy who now sits atop the ladder of success. However, when you're like me, average in just about everything you do, people don't really try to challenge you. They don't feel threatened by your presence or even your small successes because they know that you're never going to make it high enough to even potentially knock them off their thrones. This can be a beautiful thing.

When people aren't threatened by your successes, they are more apt to give you valuable advice and insight into their positions which then leads you, or in this case me, to be Little Miss Average Who Happens To Have Picked Up Alot Of Tidbits Along The Way. Or LMAWHTHPUAOTATW. Whichever you prefer.

So yeah. Call me an optomistic idealist if you want, but just know that my take on life isn't optomistic nor is it idealistic, because I'm not just trying to "make the best of the situation I'm given because I know it'll work out in the end". I'm just living life the way that it's presented to me. I can't help it if I'm enjoying being average.
