Not sure why, maybe it’s because of the power of diabetes, but my withdrawal seems to be lasting for two weeks too long. Long periods of brain zaps, lots of sweating, nausea, blood sugars seem to be running higher than normal, random disorientation when attempting to do things that require orientation. Am I normal?

Is it normal

to start sweating like a whore in church because I couldn’t find the butter in the grocery store and I feel like everybody is secretly judging me??

Am I normal?

How can one person define what a word means, and how can we choose what or who fits into that category, or does not? Normal. What a boring, empty, dull word. There is such a stigma when talking about normality, often a real fear of being seen as normal.  Who wants to be normal? Who wants to blend in? On the other hand, if you’re not normal then what is wrong with you? It’s a double ended sword, a catch twenty-two. 

 Questioning what is normal, if I am normal, if this task is even normal has ultimately left me in a fluster. Is that normal? I don’t think I’d ever describe a friend or a family member as normal, it’s mundane, it’s generic, and they’re just not. Would I call myself normal? I don’t know, I’m not great, but I don’t think I’m utterly awful, I’m average, maybe that sounds better than normal. 

I have brunette hair, with blonde highlights, nothing extraordinary. I have 5 piercings, again nothing too out of the blue. I’m not covered head to toe in tattoos, and I can’t imagine myself ever being. I’m about 5 foot 7, size 6.5 feet, pretty average I’d say. I don’t particularly feel there’s anything special about me, ultimately I am nothing special, but I absolutely hate the idea of being thought of as normal. Fear. Check. Stigma. Check. 

I’m on a journey of finding myself, understanding who I am, what I want to do and what I want to be. I feel a bit lost, uncertain, on edge - I hope that’s normal? Where do I fit in in this world of words?
