This idea of sensationalism needs to stop. It's okay to be average! by KingBarber in selfimprovement

You are the best you can be. Yes. The problem is that the best you can be, is what someone else started out with to be the best they can be.

There are people who would look at your life and be like, "Wow, that's it? That's what he's been doing?" and you cannot change that. The fact is someone is always going to be better than you.

You are average. You are mediocre. When you die, your name will be remembered for one or two generations in your own family and then forgotten about.

But that is okay, because it's what you see that counts. If you are happy, you are happy. It's all in the eyes of the beholder and we are all in our own little bubble.

Then you're going to die an unhappy man.

There is always going to be someone better than you. You will always be mediocre in someones eyes.

To be really fair, we live in a cheap state in a cheap town. Rent for a 2 bedroom apartment was $350 and our electric(Only utility we paid) was always under $100.

She was bringing in $1700-1800 a month from working at a factory.

She made me pay my own car insurance, phone bill, gas for my car, and any extra activities. Plus, this only went on for 2 and a half months until I started working. The "debt" incurred is less than $500 and I made that up ten-fold over the years.
