On The Nobility of Your Life

Greatness is not relegated to those whose names we know.

There is a greatness to every nameless human that has loved, laughed, lost, and learned while breathing.

I have spent much of the last 3-years trying to learn how to be super.

Super-productive.

Super-talented.

Super-prolific.

Super-human.

I do not want to be just Jeremiah. I want to be the extraordinary person that so much of popular literature tells me I might just be if only I can follow these demanding set of rules to which only the super can adhere.

I want to be super in the eyes of the world because being just me, who I am without a set of rules and pocket full of productivity quotes, is not enough.

It cannot be enough.

I feel promised more and therefore I will behave in a way that believes more is in my nature.

I am super. I am just yet to find out how to feel and appear as such.

But What About Normal Life?

How can I ignore it any longer?

To be alive, to be a regular human living a non-super life is super difficult.
