  2. When I was little, I thought that I was different from everybody else, special. At least, that’s what everyone always told me. You’re unique, you’re one of a kind. I’ve grown up to find out that that’s not true. I’m as common as they get. I’m 5ft 4 inches, mousey brown hair with dark green eyes. One in a million. Or one of a million. Your choice.

  28. The Common room was filled with children as the new year at the local boarding school began. It was normal for one to feel nervous, but Mark refused to be like the others. In fact, he was excited, more then anything, looking forward to the Dream Reading class that followed an Anthropology course.

  35. the common way of saying something is the way that everyone expects you to say it. why not just come up with something different, uncommon that no one will know what you’re talking about? it’s much more fun to live life minute by minute. I would know. i mean, thats how i live everyday. what i say is not what i think- it’s just what happens to come out. ha. that may sound like a bad thing, and sometimes it is. but when you’re just honest and open, life is a total blast. try it for once!

    Ayden
  36. The common man is not too common. Everyone is so diverse and magnificent. “Common” is a paradox.

  37. One of my greatest fears is being common. Sometimes it seems I go out of my way to be unique: my favorites are different from everyone elses’, even if I might enjoy the normal more. I guess maybe it’s because I’m afraid of being forgotten or blending in. Because I’m not loud or outgoing, I try to make up for that in other areas. It’s something that I take pride in, I guess: being different. I want to be unforgettable. But in that, sometimes I forget myself.

  38. common is not a very common word

    if you read it in syllables then it becomes ‘come on’

  39. It was hard being born so common. My blonde hair and blue eyes looking just like every German child and my name sounding the same. I looked around and wondered how we were the first country to achieve a super race. The explanation seemed simple enough: gene mutation. I struggled with the history of it.

  40. as i fell into infinity,
    faded away as i
    watched his eyes of sapphire
    wash over the room,
    i could swear they had something in common
    with the sea…

    perfection at it’s very best.

    take me away?
