You are not (that) special

You think you are unique, you fill the blank profile. You will find love. You express yourself in ways that make you special. You do your best to stand out. You point out to attributes you possess which make you different from the rest. You acknowledge interests that you think very few others have. You are sure that those of the other gender (or the same) will distinguish your awesomeness. You are unique, you are out of the ordinary, you are uncommon and unusual...

or so you seem to think.
And then you start browsing others' profiles and the truth hits you...


Everybody loves to laugh.
Everybody is passionate.
Everybody's eyes are the first thing people notice.
Everybody has their passport on hand or is eagerly planning their next trip.
Everybody loves to cook at home or go out to eat (exploring restaurants).
Everybody loves a good time out or could snuggle inside with a movie (and you!).
Everybody wants to have adventures in this city.
Everybody is a great friend.
Everyone is a little funny/ witty/ inappropriate.
Everybody is working hard in something they love or in something that hate which enables them to do what they love. 
Everybody is living life (some to the fullest!).

So, if everybody is not so special, is that why it is so hard to find 'that special someone'?
He (She) simply doesn't exist.
Perhaps if you were happy with a mediocre someone who is very similar to everyone else then... but, really?

    But I thought we were told in school by our teachers that "Yes, children, Yes, YOU ARE THAT SPECIAL!"

    Then, we grow up(or don't), and realize that no, we aren't really that special.

    And what does the word Special even mean anyway?

    How do we define special? Does special mean that we are Interesting? No, that is an equally vague word.

    I think that the Special Someone is not a true statement. Maybe it's bad personal experiences, or pessimism, or reality. We may never know.

    Until, of course, we do find that "Special Someone"...

    Then everything I've just typed above means absolutely nothing.

    Funny post at the beginning, philosophically sad at the end.
    No one special until you touch nice feelings from far, but both
    Real dreamer?
