Normal?
What is normal? Is there such a thing as normal? A great deal of the time I do not think that anyone is really normal. We are all slightly insane--idiosyncratic, esoteric, quirky. I also think that everyday we walk a fine line between living a "normal" life and being committed to an insane asylum. All of this fascinates me and spurs my creativity.

I definitely agree with what you've said here! "Normal" according to dictionary.com is "conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; regular"... so who decides what the "normal, standard type" is? I'm reminded of a quote; "Everyone seems normal until you get to know them". People hide who they truly are in an effort to conform, yet when you get to know them, you see that each person has unique quirks and faults.... all of this keeps life interesting : )
ReplyDeleteexactly! If we were all "usual" and "regular" the world would be a very boring place.
