I’m very much exhausted of always being in the middle. I’m average at most of what I do, I’m OK-looking, and all of that is fairly normal!
But I am really, really tired of being that person who’s “nice” and good to be around, but who never leaves a lasting impression; I’m tired of thinking that I’m important in someone’s life and getting emotionally attached just to find out I’m a rotating pal. I’ve been, and still am, that one friend who’s kinda there in a friend group, but who miraculously never gets invited to go out, who isn’t in on any secrets, who’s more of a bonus to the gang -- sometimes, I feel, an unwanted bonus.
