What is normal? And where can I buy it? 

I’ve been struggling with these questions for the past three years. That’s when I started having such bad bouts of depression, anxiety and panic (I was first treating it as a severe Burnout and resulting depression) that I even had a helpline on my speed dial. 

I never called them. 

Just knowing they were there was comforting.

 Let's look at the definition:

nor·mal

adjective\ˈnȯr-məl\

: usual or ordinary : not strange

: mentally and physically healthy

Full Definition of NORMAL

1

:  perpendicular; especially :  perpendicular to a tangent at a point of tangency

2

a :  according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle

b :  conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern

3

:  occurring naturally <normal immunity>

4

a :  of, relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development

b :  free from mental disorder :  sane

 I stopped dead at the last one.
It says a lot about today’s society and its attitude towards mental disorders.
grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

wow

Brings me to the point: Do I really want to BE like that?

Giving up all my quirks, imagination and exploring the world through eys of a child

ME?

After having tried so hard to find me

in all the years of having tried to be like I assumed 

others wanted me to be?

Nope.

For me - it's simple just not worth the energy ;)
I actually came to believe, that my difference
is an ultimate blessing.
Why?
Because it might help others to not loose sanity by all the normalness around them!
:D

Welcome to my world!

Ok, that's exactly how my mind works 

- and so you come to understand the word different as applied to ME ;)

And yes, my coffee-maker has eyes.

How could I refuse him the stick on ones, 

if he looked like an un-finished bird all along?!

Sorry, gotta run...

Need to check on my PC.

Felt a little abandoned yesterday.

I was in a conference with my mind.

What about you?

Different.

You?

How quick are YOU to judge?

Think before you judge. You never know the story behind it.
Look closer. You never know how many tears a smile hides.
Do not set anyone aside before you have walked in their shoes. Are you greater than HE who will always hold his hand over me?

 Momo held a paw to my head and made me post this:

She insists I tell you cat activities are smart, dogs are useless.
She's proof-reading now.
Intensely.
Back to the task.

 

 You could talk to a cat meanwhile.
Not my cat.
But you get the picture.

We might do some of our own.
Momo thinks she is not getting much attention when her inmate is writing-tuned.
She might turn to modern technology.
(Besides either attacking from above or trying to unplug the evil thing from below.)

I have been informed that I forgot to inform here.
So here we go again:
just in case one wonders - that's where I am.
(and with a word count of 80.000+ it will take a couple more month.)
