Painfully Average

kellie

I feel painfully average in everything I do. Sure I get good grades in school, I take advanced courses, I run track, but I’m not exceptionally good at any of those tasks. I feel left out when my friends are recognized for their talents and I’m left wondering what makes me more than an average person. It makes me feel low, like I can be easily replaced in a friend group (which has happened before,) or that no one will remember or need me. I know I can pick up a hobby, but I’m a senior in high school trying to balance advanced classes, sports, clubs, a relationship, and my sanity so I don’t exactly have the time to focus on one specific talent. I feel like I followed the books to be a model student, but I have nothing to make me unique and I don’t know what to do.
