Regarding my post about "normal" (https://agnostic.com/discussion/62044/what-is-your-normal?aid=410549), I wanted to make a clarification. I don't believe that there is one normal that everyone should be compared to -- I'm talking about the sense that what I had felt was normal to me has been flipped on its end, and that so many things that were familiar to me no longer are. As a result I often feel like I'm stumbling around trying to find my footing. I hope this makes it more clear.
In difficult times and in a crazy rhythm, the most important thing is to get enough sleep on time. Due to lack of health, I started to look like a squeezed lemon and no longer had the strength to think rationally, so I decided to try using information about hub from this source [easystd.com] it's easier. And if I find myself in such a situation again, this tool will always help.
I've met so-called normal people.
I was not impressed.
. Normal is whatever you want it to be.
The key is not letting others dictate that to you.
Imo.
You don't have to fit anyone's reality but your own.
I have never believed in "normal", I can go as far as average. I have a sister who is severely intellectually disabled. When she was young she was classified, "sub normal" by our society of retards. Variety/diversity is the wealth of our society. Imagine putting Stephen Hawking down and disregarding him because he can't speak, swim or run. I don't want to be average or normal. I moved to the alternative centre of Australia and also did not fit in there. They published a book of poetry called, "beware normal people" there was a poem about me in there critising me saying I don't belong in their "non conformist world". I like both your posts on the subject, I guess what I am saying is, don't feel compelled to achieve normality. It will totally shut down your improbability drive.
I don't feel normal at all & I don't really care - I like who I am and what I do and how I think and I don't want to suffer fools gladly so I don't . before I was sort of humble and let people put me down and gave way a lot as if I am only here on sufferance but now I have changed and i have an anger in me that is definitely about wanting a change. I stopped letting people talk down to me . And I feel completely in charge of any negotiations.At the beginning i needed big anger to get me in gear but after that I just went my own way and I do as I want.
My normal is to go to work tired and drive around feeling sad and then come home alone and be alone until it's time to get up and hate work some more. I do this to be near my son, so I see him every other weekend and he treats me with mostly indifference, but then he's 5 and doesn't understand my sacrifice. I live in the hope that he'll appreciate me as he grows and that his indifference, punctuated by the odd smile/laugh/hug is the nearest thing to happiness I can currently manage, normal sucks but we live in hope
You sound like a good dad. I'm sure he'll appreciate it.
