What is
NORMAL?
I couldn't tell you how many times a day my mother
says to me "why can't you just be normal?" Or, why isn't anyone
in my family normal? But what is normal? In my opinion,
normal is... what the norm is... what "everyone else is doing". Therefor,
if the majority of people were dying their hair blue, shaving their eyebrows,
cutting off their pinky fingers, pulling out their teeth, and squishing
hamsters, that would be completely normal. So if, perhaps, there
was only one person in a group of people who was not acting
like a complete idiot, then he/she does not have the right to complain
about whether or not the others are acting normal because they are, when,
in fact, the person complaining is the one who's not acting normal!
If everyone were "normal" that would make everyone
the same. That would be very boring. "Normal" is the same thing
as being trendy if you think about it. People should stop caring
what's normal and just be themselves. Buy a shirt because you like
the shirt or because it fits you and covers you and keeps you warm.. Don't
buy it because it's "in" and it will make you fit into the norm.
Normality sucks. It's the same as conformity and who wants that?
Stand out! Don't be afraid.
