Musings of a new American.
I wish to make you all aware of something.

Every single one of you.



I don't care what your mommy told you. I don't care what your grandpa, or your auntie, or guidance counselor or therapist says.


You are not special.

You are not a miracle of nature. You are a cosmic instance, the simple meeting between egg and sperm that was allowed to mature and grow into a fetus that was birthed and developed into an individual with intellect. This is a scenario that has repeated itself more than six billion times, and occurs tens of thousands of times again every single day. You, yes you, reader, listener, you are the same as everyone else.

You are not a precious, precious snowflake. You are not a special boy or a special girl with his or her own individual talents that no one else might have. No matter your talent, there is someone better than you. No matter your thoughts or ideas, the idea has been thought before. The world is vast, and populous, and you are not special. You are of the same bloody sludge as the rest of us.

Know it. Accept it.

You are not an individual. You are a single instance of an entire race of similar evolved simians. Walking, talking, hairless apes. And no matter how you try to make yourselves out to be "unique" by the way you dress, how you vote, the music you listen to or how you express your emotions and thoughts, the fact remains: everyone else has done the same thing before. You are merely parroting, aping sentiments and ideas and emotions shown for thousands of years before you.





You are not special.

You are not special.

You are not special.

Ah, Lucian.
