Ordinary.
Let me preface this with
"There is nothing wrong with the ordinary."
Many are content with a simple ordinary life, but ordinary may sometimes not always translate to easier, a famous quote goes;
Timothy FerrissNinety-nine percent of people in the world are convinced they are incapable of achieving great things, so they aim for the mediocre. The level of competition is thus fiercest for 'realistic' goals, paradoxically making them the most time and energy-consuming.
Nothing's wrong with wanting a mundane uneventful life, as the Japanese also have the saying
hosoku nagaku ikiru (細く長く生きる, live long and inconspicuously)
Find your happiness.
