Normality

Normal.

I wonder what that’s like. To just be ok with life. No questions. No wonderment.

I wonder what it’s like to feel emotion and not dissect it from top to bottom until I understand myself inside and out; what it’s like to sit in a room full of people you relate to. People that get you. People that are interested in your interests and find you interesting.

Yeah. I wonder what that’s like. To be in a place where you’re normal. What it would be like where I am the norm. Where everyone sees the humor in double entendres and enjoys questions like “Why?” and statements like “Clarify a little more, please.” For once I’d just like to be around people that enjoy me for who I am. Not the me with red tape and crazy glue, all cracked and reshaped to fit the norm of someone else’s desires and comfort zones—no. The me that laughs at the corniest shit and enjoys playing cards and talking about mythology and politics and lessons learned and introspective realizations. I just want for once to be completely comfortable in my skin. To be absolutely at ease with my surroundings, including the company I keep. Don’t want to dumb myself down or hype myself up. Don’t want to mute who I am for fear of being too loud. Don’t want to scream for fear of not being heard. I want to be understood.

I want to be normal like you.

It's amazing that a beautiful, intelligent, and evolving person could long to be normal. I believe that every great person has felt this way at some point in their journey. You have a gift. This gift will draw you to others who have something to offer that gift and/or are in need of it. One day things will all make sense.
In the bible there was a woman who had been ill for a long time. When she saw Jesus she told herself that if she could just touch the tip of his garment she would be healed. I'm not a preacher but I do believe that there are people in this world that if you just touch them, talk to them, have them smile at you or even think of you your life will be better off. You my friend, are one of those people.

To be honest, I like you just the way you are... Then again, why wouldn't I?? U are my fellow piscean/friend-10yrs strong... I long to be more like u in the sense of becoming more outspoken, more selfmotivated, and I myself definitely know I'm already far from da norm... Go figure!!

Aww, I think you are amazingly wonderful just the way you are. With tons of color...not black and white like myself (literally). It is those colorful ones that make masterpieces, life, and love :)
Taking yourself to seriously is evil in my eyes, and trying to figure out something that is constanly changing is impossible. But knowing,searching, and finding out what your purpose is, is something worthwhile.
Love ya!!!!!
