"Say it, reader. Say the word 'quest' out loud. It is an extraordinary word, isn't it? So small yet so full of wonder, so full of hope."

It's okay, guys.
Because if you think about it, everything in the world that is extraordinary
is really just extra ordinary.

...where others might slide in and be allowed to be ordinary,
those of us who come in pre-judged are forced to make ourselves extraordinary.
Take it as a challenge, and break the mold so [those] who come after you
might not have to fight quite so hard to be accepted in the future.

Original Quote:
And that is the female engineer's silver lining (as it is for anyone coming into a profession as a minority, be it your ethnicity, gender, or just the college you came from): where others might slide in and be allowed to be ordinary, those of us who come in pre-judged are forced to make ourselves extraordinary. Take it as a challenge, and break the mold so the women who come after you might not have to fight quite so hard to be accepted in the future.

The word EXTRAORDINARY confuses me.
If you break it up, It is EXTRA, and ORDINARY.
EXTRA ORDINARY.
What does that mean?
Super normal?
Very the same?
Thats what it seems like, right?
However, the dictionary definition says that it is
"Very unusual, or remarkable"
See?
Complete opposites.
I guess this just proves that things aren't always
exactly what they seem.
So next time you come across something
or someone
that you don't understand,
Look a little closer.
Because, who knows?
You may just find something
EXTRAORDINARY.

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby
Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the DANGER
I wanna SCREAM
It makes me feel ALIVE
To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that
I have been to the EXTREME
So knock me off my feets
Come on now give it to me
Anything to make me feel ALIVE
Is it enough to LOVE
Is it enough to BREATHE
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to DIE
Somebody save my life
I'd rather be ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY PLEASE
Let down your defences
Use NO COMMON SENSE
If you look you will see
that this world is a beautiful accident turbulent succulent opulent permanent no way
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it away
Avril Lavigne

Concerts are beautiful
Everyone's there for the same reason: to enjoy the band/ musician. The roar of the crowd when the performer takes the stage is priceless, the sound of all the fans belting their hearts out along with the singer is wonderous, watching everyone jump or wave their arms at the same time is extraoridinary. Whether it's at a screamo concert where everyone's moshing or a pop concert where everyone's dancing around or a orchestra concert where everyone's sitting and peacefully listening, everyone's there for the same reason: to enjoy the music.
I don't know man, I just think concerts are beautiful

I can bless myself
There's no need for someone's help
There's no one to blame
There's no one to save you but yourself
I can justify all the mistakes in my life
It's taught me to be, it's givin' me me
And I'll survive
'Cause I have blessed myself.
-Lucy Hale (Bless Myself, A Cinderella Story Once Upon a Song)

I’m imprisoned, I’m living a lie
Another night putting on a disguise
I wanna tear it off and step in the light
Don’t you, don’t you?
