Just like everyone.
To lie here and die among the sorrows, drift among the days.
Do you know the distance to the sun? Do you know the echo that is love? Can a taste of love be so wrong? Do you know the solitude of heart?
Are you meant for this world?

Being ordinary has always been my greatest desire. I am really different, and that's something I don't like. I can't explain you WHY, but I just know I'm not the same as you, or someone else. Normality just doesnt exist.

You're only ordinary if you feel ordinary...and sometimes, not even THEN. Most of us move through life never realizing how much we unintentionally and unknowingly impact each other.

One would fear ordinariness the least when one is ordinary indeed. But only few people have ever been able to stand aghast in amazement and gaze through the doorways of oblivion where the most might enter without ever noticing what they became as a punishment for not knowing what they are, special and most extraordinary people that could have been living.
To be absolutely ordinary and feel completely insignificant is impossible in life. For if a person is not special in the eyes of the world then he or she cannot be but special in their own eyes – an attitude engendering thoughts of personal care and wellbeing, or at least in the eyes of at least few other people. But it is our person known well in the world around us that gives first hand knowledge of who we are, and thus the greatest of reassurances in our life. I, for instance, would be very doubtful of myself if I were not known at the least. I might not have known myself at all without due attention, both appreciative and critical, of other people around me to myself.
It nevertheless is most common in the mind for an ill-conceived notion of self-importance, and therefore fear of being regarded most ordinary, to cause hugely unsettling feelings. This is particularly true in people of societies where idol worship is ripe. In which case harmful tendencies might find their roots thereupon all people might yearn for more and more attention and social significance – insignificance could be a hell to live with.
But remedies for escaping that hell have never been out sight of human mind, as the main cause of our need for significance is at the heart of our beings. We have essential need for self-actualization and spiritual fulfilment. And it is this very need that all religion, alongside spiritual disciplines of various kinds, addresses in particular - to become significant and extra ordinary, unique and like no one else, in true sense is in fact to be conscious, conscientious and aware of oneself; it is to be in touch with the inner most self of our being.
If so happens then, I wouldn’t think I would ‘lie here and die among the sorrows, or drift among the days’ of my life. I would know then all the distances of the world just as I know the distance that is between my mind and my heart, between I and my self; I would know the echo of my love as I would know my own voice; I could then taste love as life, and life as love, both as one. Thought my heart will still year for more love, more knowledge, more familiarity and beauty more, but it will also know contentment. I am meant for the place where my heart in woken to true love would lead me to.

Everyone is ordinary, yet nobody is ordinary at the same time.
Everyone has similarities (we eat, sleep etc.) yet we all have differences (ideas, favourite things.)
So you can never be truly ordinary or truly different.

Why should I fear of being ordinary.

No, I've never had that trouble. 93 million miles, on average.
If I'm not meant for this world, what is the alternative?
