I guess I'm wondering what a normal childhood looks like.

I'm not trying to be snide here (it comes naturally) but honestly, there is so much difference in the way we grow up, grow towards things, away from things.

Putting too much pressure on oneself in the interest of being "normal" or having "normal" things or experiences is just not always a great strategy, IME.

Nothing earth shattering, I know, but sometimes memory fails and nothing is "normal."

Can you give yourself a break on this?
