Hi Thoughtful bloggers, it's Abeegail again. For a while now I've been going back and forth between the drive to become something great or the comfort of mediocrity. Is mediocrity really a bad thing and is having ambition a social construct? These questions have really bugged me, so here are my thoughts ðŸ’
"Snowballing between the greatest person ever and the silent observer on the side. My ego makes me believe that I can be in that spot light, but something in me tells me I have to unbecome everything I am, more like a rebirth to stand on that stage up high. I know the work required and I feel reluctant. And I tell myself that's it's okay to not be on the stage, it's that a lie that my comfortable side tells. But the silent observer is in bliss and bliss I've been searching for all my life. But is the observer truly at bliss, watching what she could have been.
But come to think of it is greatness really required, do I have to make an impact, I low-key reject that fact, what if I really have no purpose, what if I was just here to live. I feel like ambition is a social construct, something the world feel like we should have, because who are you if don't reach your goals and become the best you. But I think is, in a realistic world, not everyone is going to be great and it's okay to be mediocre too at something of not all. And society have pushed this narrative that you must certainly be in the spotlight for anything to count, you must look put together, and everything must align but we forget that the spotlight only mean so much because of the people sitting in the dark ness.
So sometimes I want to be great and sometimes not, because I just want to live not hold down by any thought.
So I think it's okay to not have your life together by 20 or 30 or 40 or even not at all, even if you want to let it be for your self not because the world say you should. Because no one will beat you if you don't do it the most they'll do is talk, and that's the only thing they seem to do anyway.
At the end of the day, I just feel like you must not be in the spotlight for it to count. In that little corner of yours just create a little light for you and maybe it will spread to others."
Feel free to drop your thoughts on this.
