Fighting to become the protagonist of my life
Has anyone ever lived life feeling like there should be more for them? Life isn't so bad and the normal things are great- but for those who feel a higher calling of importance in life- well I think they're called protagonists. Someone who fights hard for those he/she loves, the things they believe in; striving to be more than just a number. What are the things in life that force us to be passionate about something that we cannot always see? Like a runner training years to compete in event that seems so far off. Who are the people that make us work harder to become everything to them that we can be?
I want to be more than just an average person. If a story was written about an event or a large group of people- I'd want to be the one who rose up to be the hero- the protagonist of that story- make it my story- our story. I'm not at all meaning to be ungrateful, or selfish thinking that life was meant for pleasure or that I am the only one that matters. That is not at all what I'm talking about- that's an Antagonist- someone who desires to be great- but uses selfish and wrong reasons to achieve his goal. Or even, someone who is trying to achieve a wicked goal. No- I'm talking about someone who lives life with purpose, and fights for those things he/she loves and cherishes. “Look not on your own interests, but also the interests of others.”
There are so many things that I'm not good at- many things that I'm great at, but not excellent at. But I'll continue working hard because I sense something better- deeper- inside me that tells me there's more than just this average person that I often come across as. I hate how sometimes I cannot portray what's deep down inside of me to others. Often I fail in finding a way to express what's really inside and words sometimes just come out wrong. Often I'll look into the mirror and see someone else- see the person I wish I could be- wish I could show others instead of feeling outshined by others. But I will still keep fighting to be more than just average- I’ll keep fighting for my purpose!
Do you have what it takes to become the protagonist of your own life?

This is something I think about all the time. I wonder if anyone else has simular thoughts or I'm just a ranting person

I can definetly relate. I went through a rough depression...and now that I'm no longer depressed it's hard to bring out that person who has been hiding for so long. People have their thoughts about other people and it's pretty much impossible to change how they see you. Unless they actually care.
