the fears of being normal


The truth of fitting in is an idea of conformity. To think differently is not to blend in and be part of a crowd. Simply to be normal. In literature, past and present a reacquiring theme is that to be normal isn’t worth it and we should be unique in our own way.  We strive to be special but a normal special, which means that you want other people to agree with the normalcy of your specialness

We can’t ever be normal for it is an unattainable idea. People try so hard just to be that perfect idea of a person and yet they will always fall short.  Truman Capote wrote “it may be normal, darling, but I’d rather be natural.” To do this maybe we should let humanity be the new normal. Just stop with all the fakeness of this world and be natural, for just being who you are is easier.

To do this a person must come to understand what your natural. That doesn’t mean that you need to be a natural person literally, but be the person you can live with, A natural person who you can your own self. It’s a funny idea but how many people can say that they like there natural self? I know I can’t because I feel like I don’t know my natural self.

 To find that natural self you need to take all of your past, beliefs and just your point of view will affect that. Maybe to find your natural self is just to find that place where you feel comfortable in the world,  If that maybe on a stage, or a sports field.  All I pray for in the future is that maybe normal will become something as simple as just being yourself not, being perfectly dressed or fitting into an idea of another person. Nope just you and the quiet of mind safe and natural.
