If you are always trying to be normal
you will never know how amazing you can be.
Maya Angelou
When I was a kid I wanted to be normal.
I wanted to fit in.
I wanted be like the other kids.
I was miserable
When I was a young adult I wanted to be normal.
I wanted to fit in.
I wanted to be like the other young adults.
I was miserable.
When I was in my 50’s I knew I wasn’t normal.
I knew I wanted to just be me.
I knew I didn’t want to be like everyone else.
I was okay.
Then I got older and knew I was still not normal.
I knew I still wanted to just be me
I still knew I wasn’t like everyone else.
I was okay.
Today I don’t want to be normal.
I want to just be who I am.
I want to be amazing.
I am happy.

Our family has never been associated with the word normal!
Good! You must be living right and happy.
Loved this, and thanks for the Maya quote, Never heard it before.
Maya was quite a woman. She was wise and yet down to earth. What she said and wrote was simple yet profound.
You’re spot on. I’m not normal either and I’m good in my skin.
Have a fabulous day and week. ♥
Truthfully, I am not sure what normal is supposed to be. What I do know is that it is given too much importance.
You’re an amazing and unique person. Why would you want to be like anyone else!
Wanting to be like others was because I was foolish and young. I have gotten smarter with age.
Thank you for saying I am amazing and unique. I will try to prove your words true.
You’re welcome! You already have proven yourself my friend. 👍💖
