Have you ever wondered if you are normal? Normal as in, a regular person and not too weird at all?
Well, I hate to break it to you but you’re not. And that’s completely normal. Normal is an idea, a construct of the human mind. Just like every other label and word on this planet.
See, we’ve grown so accustomed to the things we say and name that we don’t really stop to think about where they came from. I mean, we can look up the root of words but that’s about as far as we’ll get!
The point is, the idea of normal is a very vague one. It’s actually an opinion more than anything! What one considers normal, another may not. And that is also completely fine.
The weird quirky things you do sometimes, the way you feel about certain things, these are all normal. Your hair, your clothes, the music you like; all completely normal.
If you ever find yourself questioning whether something you do or don’t do is normal, just question where the idea of normal came from. Realize that this too is an opinion and only an idea humans created to make themselves feel a little more sane. 🙂
