average

An experiment in mediocrity

I feel so average.

It’s hard to feel average in a country where no one feels average. Everyone’s a unique snowflake, a maverick, one of a kind. 

I am no exception. I feel exceptionally exceptional most days. 

But in reality I’m not special.

I’m a pretty average American. I’m overweight. I have high cholesterol and high blood pressure. On the other hand, I don’t have diabetes.
