My greatest fear has literally always been that I'd be ordinary, and while I just adore my life, I also feel like I've fell into the status quo, and I hate that. I want SO much to really succeed at something, but those feelings of inadequacy like to come back and bite me in the butt all the time. Seriously.<br /><br />Sending you all the hugs because I truly understand where you're coming from <3Melissa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09297126633481230633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-14111896135171915782017-05-30T20:35:51.421-04:002017-05-30T20:35:51.421-04:00I'm so sorry that you're having these feel...I'm so sorry that you're having these feelings!

IE: Your smile, your ability to lead, your integrity, your love for your family and the list could go on and on and this list is just from seeing what you show the internet world. I am sure that you can smash your husband in SOMETHING if you really think about it. And I have to agree with your sister, there are many, many women and men that would do ANYTHING to at least be average. ;)Curly Girl Confessionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09710977656510177774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-21534065908095377722017-05-25T19:45:56.975-04:002017-05-25T19:45:56.975-04:00"This mediocrity crushes my soul when I reali..."This mediocrity crushes my soul when I realize how little I stand out." I could have written this line myself girlfriend. I am not kidding. My husband is also a rockstar. Everything he touches turns to gold. It's one thing to be average and okay with it and entirely another to be average and not okay with it nor have the wherewithal to do anything about it. In and of itself I don't think there is anything wrong with being average. The bulk of the population is average. The bummer is when it makes you feel super bad about yourself. We just have to look on the bright side. Also know that however average you might feel there is someone out there who is thinking man that girl is awesome!! Also, remember that those awesome husbands chose us!!!Cece @Mahogany Drivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11851435478630045969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-21018404770223433962017-05-25T14:20:49.382-04:002017-05-25T14:20:49.382-04:00I think everyone has experienced this at some poin...I think everyone has experienced this at some point in their lives, I sure as hell know I have. Being average in your own eyes can be incredibly frustrating because you don't want to see what everyone else does. Just know (even though it's hard to hear) you are not average, you are amazing!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01092211937888152360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948996795445562989.post-86059098106827332332017-05-25T12:35:57.802-04:002017-05-25T12:35:57.802-04:00I get that this is a venting post but just know t...I get that this is a venting post but just know that you're sooooo far above average though!! You only feel average because you are surrounded by people who are like-minded, socioeconomically privileged, & athletic. You're among people who choose to spend hundreds -- most spend thousands -- yearly on kickball (not knocking that) so remember you feel "average" among the people who dedicate the most time and money and take kickball the most seriously of anyone in the country or even world. If you find yourself in the median among them, that's not "average." Think about how many women don't even play sports, for soooo many reasons. Think about the women who do play and can't make contact with the ball, even at slow pitch. Outside the super-elite kickball bubble, you're so beyond rock-star status.<br /><br />Also, how many people actually get to play NCAA sports in college? That makes you way above average athletically, plus you are an incredible teammate and athlete beyond ability as you are smart, coachable, dedicated & too stubborn to give up (which count for so much in a teammate).

I find taking a break really helps. Give it time, things have a way of working themselves out.

Like when we went axe throwing, it took me 3/4 of the time we were there to even get the axe to stick to the board (not even close to the bullseye) but my husband? 2 throws, hits the bullseye and gets into top 3 for the prize. Or now, how he's been cycling for 3yrs and legit blows everyone else out of the water and they've been cycling for 6+yrs. Wins races, awards, recognition for best improvement, even made it in to 10% of his age group in the NY gran fondo so out of 500+ men his age, he came in 40th. <br /><br />yet here i am struggling with muay thai even though i train like fuck and still can't get shit right.<br /><br />i know that we're different but man, can my husband suck at anything?!

I think it feels like the one thing you can control and that's why you're thinking about quitting. Don't quit yet. Give it some time. See if it doesn't start looking up as you regain your routine, get back to normal, etc. if you are still feeling average (you're not btw), then re-evaluate whether or not this is what will make you happiest during your off time. I just think you are readjusting to life. ;)sara [at] journey of doinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09328180529729262449noreply@blogger.com
