There is so much hidden perfection in the word “normal.” What is the word “normal?” You don’t realize that a situation is normal until you experience abnormality. As with everything, abnormality comes with advantages and disadvantages, but what happens when there are more disadvantages to where the advantages are not worth the little glimpses of light anymore? The disadvantages take over when abnormality strikes, and you’re left with “hope.” Which then brings me to my second question; what is “hope.” To me, it’s the only thing that keeps me afloat at this point in my life. I have become one who doesn’t understand what she’s experiencing, what she’s feeling, and one who is relying on this belief that may or may not exist. Ignorance is bliss, one of my favorite sayings. If we never experienced the advantages of abnormal, and only ever knew what “normal” was, would we be missing out? Would it be worth it not to have to go through the disadvantages in order for our emotions to stay consistent and precise? One could argue that the advantages of abnormal are what fuels this theory of “hope.” “To hope” to find those advantages as much as we can so we can hold onto them while going through all of the disadvantages abnormality throws at us. And with the vomit on the paper, I find myself feeling better.
