normal is bad.
end of story :-)
it's forgetting the inner child inside you
That is a sad normal. I think normal can be what you want. I like to expand normal. In Iceland normal means diverting a road because there might be a troll living under a boulder where the road would go.
ah, a very whimsical normal! i like that…Obviously, i was a little worked up when i answered the normal question normally…
so yes, forgetting the inner child who would understand how normal it is to divert a road to avoid the troll.
Are trolls normally friendly, or normally mean?
are we normally happy?
normally, are we open and loving and whimsical?
normally, do we cry and laugh and paint and sing and dance?
then, i'd like to be normal…
Yes for me that is normal very normal and it always has been!
