What comes up?
Average

(as in: normal, just like everybody else, not like everybody like here, but like in the Netherlands, like my parents. I do not want to be like them! They do not aspire to greatness, I do, I want to. I want to reach, to be more then I am, to grow, to become "more"...)

That is what I come up with.. but my whole body, mind and hearth says it is not true. It almost makes me physically ill to say that I do not have the right to say that I am great.
Because I am. Because I can be. There is more in me.

Is there? Am I just average? Am I delusional to think that I am special in some way? That is what the little voice is telling me now.. is it true?
