What is Ordinary?

Ordinary is a self-published zine that seeks to inspire a different way of being.
Through creative expression, we hope to encourage people to take a slower approach to living and to soak in the beauty of every moment – even those that seem unremarkable.
We are building a community of like-minded people who want to join us in expressing themselves authentically, and encourage those around us to do the same.
We’re nothin’ special, but that’s the point.

Our Values

Acceptance

We practice a radical acceptance of what is.

This moment is all we have, why dwell on anything else?


Freedom

We champion freedom of all kinds.

That includes individual freedom, collective freedom, and creative freedom.


Unity

We reject division and embrace unity.

None of our content is engineered to divide


Beauty

We notice the beauty in the everyday.

When we choose to live a beautiful life, life becomes beautiful


Self-Inquiry

We encourage self-knowing.

From here, our understanding of what is grows stronger, and, in turn, so does our ability to serve ourselves, or friends and our communities


Autonomy

Our destiny is ours.

We do not need to conform to those norms of modern society that do not serve us.
