I don’t want to be reminded how undeniably identical we all are. The irony is that I want to be different, a never-before-seen version of the human mind. And this equates to one great big cliché, great. I’m a cliché.
As a child I was led to believe that my future would be full of wonder and adventure and discovery. But I was not born in a fairy tale, I was born into this life consisting of education, work, retirement and death.
I don’t want to simply blend into the blur of human existence. My goal is not to change the world nor is it to stand out from the crowd. What I truly want is to live a life that hasn’t been lived before. I want to somehow break through the walls of this narrow corridor and walk along undiscovered grounds, but the walls are thick and I am weak.
None of us are unique, none of us are special.
We are but robots without the metal.

Beautifully written. I struggle with the same thing. There is nothing new under the sun. That’s why I want to be an actress – because in their works they get to portray someone special, who has a triumphant moment or epiphany that changes everything. That’s not how life works. Life is about money and sex – it all revolves around that. What’s the point? I feel you. I’m sorry, love.
“None of us are unique, none of us are special.We are but robots without the metal.”- I love it.
See, I think this bothers a lot of people here (including me). I mean, life can end at any given moment so it’s already pointless, and if that’s not depressing enough, we’re also dictated the format in which to live it. I feel like it stops us from reaching our full potential. (Uless people are just THAT stupid to think this is the right way to spent our existence; in which case fuck it, I’m offing myself, Ive). We’re slowly killing ourselves with stress, self-indulgence and chemicals.. Oh well.. Who wants a beer? -.-
Didn’t finish in the brackets: I’ve already seen plenty of stupidity around the world, my hope level for humanity is at 10%, need to wait a little while..
Hah, i used to be like you.
