One of the most influential people in my life has always told us to ask ourselves: Would you rather be ordinary, or extraordinary? Today I was sitting in class and thinking, who draws the line to differentiate between the two? I mean, we can all sit here and try our best and try to live out the best life possible but does that make you extraordinary? Does living for others make your extraordinary? I was in such deep thought about it. I mean, we all try to lead these lives and try to make the best out of everything. But what happens when you feel that it all is going to waste? Like you try to lead this life, with all of these accomplishments and trying to give to others, and live life selflessly but it all goes unnoticed. It just makes me wonder: what is this all for? Is this really living extraordinary? Leading this life hurt then. But I'd rather live a life and be extraordinary that slink in the shadows of everyone else. (even if I feel like I am in the shadows anyway)
I really don't know how I am feeling today. I got about 2 hours of sleep today, and I am really tired. I doubt that I am going to get sleep tonight too. I don't understand why these things happen to me.
Alicia Keys' album is amazing. Right now, with each song she has captivated the way I feel or how I have felt. She is amazing.

Being ordinary or extraordinary is all relative. You don't have to be rich or famous or anything cliche' to be extraordinary...You just have to decide you want to be more than ordinary and do everything you can to accomplish your goals. Believe me, you are extraordinary already!
