Being average is living life on easy mode— not practice.
- strangers never go out of their way to do exceptionally nice things for you, but your loved ones may sometimes or you will because nobody can ever treat you better that you can treat yourself
- several men don't go out of their way to compliment you, but 1 will buy you flowers, kiss your forehead, learn your quirks, admire your whimsy, dispise the hatred you have for yourself, laugh when you fart, hold you when you're sick, kiss you with greasy lips from late night take-outs. Love you as a human, not a pretty thing to experience.
- men don't give you random treats just for existing, but they also don't make fun of you-- don't trip you on stairs, moves when you ask 'excuse me' you're never noticed beyond just another regular person. You don't have men constantly wanting to know if you're good in bed, how your moans sound, if you pussy is tight or not, if you're sweaty and sultry after sex, how your lips would look around their cocks. Peaceful
- you don't get free items where ever you go, but someone will always share with you if they have extra or think of you when purchasing desserts, candy, trinkets, etc. Someone will give you money when you're short, to keep the line moving or because they're simply just a kind samaritan. You won't be rewarded for being beautiful, but genuine kindness will always kiss the 'ugly' and average.
- never be a 10/10, but you'll always get to experience 10/10 sunsets, eat 10/10 foods, travel to 10/10 places. You'll never be anything above a 5. That will fish out the superficial boys, leaving you with average and benevolent men or yourself.
Being average is experiencing without performing. Experiencing orgasms that doesn't give you the perfect arch, that makes you grunt deeply not high- pitched like porn favors, make your face crinkle in ways deemed "not feminine". You won't give a fuck.
Experiencing love that isn't seamless goals but food poisoning, late night diarrhea, morning breath, throwing up from anxiety but still being -> late night drives, movie dates, cute matching sets that doesn't fit like the models, cringe captions that capture your heart and love perfectly, loud laughs and embarrassing snorts
Being average is wanting to have pretty privilege not knowing you have privileges of your own that may or may not outweigh that of beautiful people.
Being average is living your life without being a spectacle our goal for other superficial women or perverted men. Being average is knowing your beautiful and not needing random girls to find you inspirational or boys to make you their crush.
Hope my post gave you comfort
