What was my name again? Right it was Sam, Sam, such a bland name. There is at least 153,443 people in the United States with the same name. Sam, why Sam, my name could have been Harper or Jayce. At least my name isn't Steven, there are 1,276,513 people named Steven in the United States, or john (5,359,069 people). These names stick with us forever, having a common name isn't a blessing, it is a sin. Imagine all the Sams in the U.S. meeting up.

Being common is everyone's dream, or so they think it is. When you are born common you want to be different. In that case I made myself different, I shut myself away from the world. I started a new world behind my head, where life was different but the same. conversations consisted of me talking to my inner self when listening to someone describe or try to teach me something I will never need.


I am Sam Smith


The world that rushes around you is too quick, there is little time to see it and once you do you realize how terrible it all is. The truth is being super common but being uncommon at the same time is no talent, it is luck. It isn't my fault I don't have a spacial name.
