two sides of the coin

There are people here and there, who's lives are utterly amazing. Like how do you get a life so amazing? How can you go to college and be a ski champion?? How can anyone in college fit into their jeans??? That I think I'll never know. Exercising doesn't help and neither does starving yourself.. and packing lunch is a nightmare.
So how do you guys have amazing lives and I feel so plain so simple and I know that's not me?
There are people who actually spend their time on their blogs write beautiful poetry or wonderful stories and for a moment I imagine I am them.
I adopted an elephant from Thailand and I can write stories that make people giggle. I am a food loving guru. How do you achieve all this?! It is a stabbing agonizing pain to have to go to school everyday, learn about chemistry when I know I'll never want to use it in life?
IS wanting to be a nurse common?? I want to help people, isn't that noble in some way? I love helping people. I don't want to be common or simple.
Although I know I want those simple pleasures in life marriage kids and a beautiful home. I think what I really want is to be a DOUBLE AGENT. That is absolutely the only way I'll ever get two sides of the coin. Live on the edge
