You were meant for amazing things.

Within your life story, the line between unique and banal is but a matter of perspective.

If you try to conjure up all the things that make you seem the same as everyone else, you will find them, and if you try to conjure up all the things that differentiate you, you will find them as well. The truth is that while every part of our lives rhymes in some way with our predecessors and with the human condition, the entropy of our universe does not allow for the same exact series of events to happen in the same exact way in the same exact place; every interaction in this world and within the course of humanity is ever so slightly different, often incomprehensibly.

But lest we let this become a distraction. In either scenario, we still have a choice to make—to decide who we will and will not be. If it has been called upon us to do what has not been done before, then nothing stops us from taking that path less trodden. And if it has been called upon us to do what always has been done, then let us walk with everyone else.
