20 Neither Terrible Nor Great But Perfectly Average Things In Life According To Reddit

Usually, people see or measure many things in life in black and white. They tend to view something as either great or terrible.

They often perceive it in extremes, and it's hard not to see why. It's how we, as a society, have traditionally judged whether our efforts are successful or not.

However, we all know that there's more to life than simply black and white. In fact, the gray area in between is a much bigger part of life than most of us want to acknowledge.

Most of the time, we're living in that perfect in-between without realizing it. And we don't think there's anything wrong with that.

Those in-between things, those average things that fill our days, are actually pretty cool. We just don't give them enough credit.

Think about it: they don't pressure us, they don't cause us too much stress, they don't obligate us with responsibilities we are not prepared for, and they don't always force us into some life-altering decision that we may or may not regret down the line.

They're like an unintended comfort zone that we don't realize we need, and we think we should celebrate them a bit more. Sometimes, we should acknowledge the things that are just okay because, whether we like it or not, okay is sometimes better than great or not great.

At least you have okay, right?

With that, here are some of the things that Redditors think are neither terrible nor great but are perfectly average.

Sometimes, we just have to appreciate the things that are in the middle, allowing us to live life without really having to pressure ourselves with anything. We're dealing with enough pressure elsewhere already, so it's good to have those little breaks of averageness.
