This especially hits home with me, since I've gotten trophies and awards for pretty much anything I've ever done (including in college). Until I hit the 'real world' and realized that even though I was talented and had a lot going for me, it didn't matter: there are a million people in the same boat.
My most recent realization, though, is that most people my age don't want to work too hard. We are used to getting the accolades with the default level of effort, so why bother?
I'm special though, I work hard. Seriously I'm special. TELL ME I'M SPECIAL.
- AznHisoka 14y agoYou're special, just like everyone else :)
- prezjordan 14y agoYou sit beautifully at the peak of the bell curve :)

- jorgeleo 14y agoOf course you are special, why would you be any different?
- kaonashi 14y agoYou're special in that you're unique; you're not special in that you innately have talents that nobody else does.
