Everybody is their own version of normal – that’s what I’ve concluded.
It’s 12 : 00 PM on day 1523 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Isaiah 10, publish my Disability of the Day feature, stretch my hamstrings, feed myself a peanut butter sandwich and a banana for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign– still on $820 but that’s okay I know God is working behind the scenes to help this campaign meanwhile I’ll tell the world why this cause is so important to me in as many creative ways as possible 🙂
This morning I was thinking about the word normal no two of us are the same so how can we label one person normal and the other not I have concluded that everybody is their own version of normal. Do you have a narrow definition of the word normal?
In order to know what is normal, one has to know what is not normal. To me, not normal is a person who’s cruel to animals, or a child abuser. Or someone who won’t call an ambulance when seeing someone else being hit by a car.
anything else is OK. I’ve seen a person who obviously suffers from schizophrenia and is homeless feeding a feral cat, and this show of compassion toward a hungry animal is much more normal to me than kids who torment a bird with a broken wing, or kids bullying a smaller child. To me, they are the ones who aren’t “normal.” to me, this isn’t normal behavoir, while my finger-flapping and pacing seems natural and normal to me.
perhaps society should change its priorities about “normal.”
Thanks for your comment 🙂 I agree we need to change our priorities about “normal”
