Y'know... normal's basically just what society has decided everyone should "be" like.
Society seems to expect:
- heterosexual marriages with at least 2 children
- no mental illness
- full-time employment
- owning a house
- owning a car
- going to university or college
- never showing emotions that aren't happy ones (and ambition)
- consumer-driven by wanting to purchase all sorts of things
- stereotypical gender roles
- college/underage drinking/promiscuity/partying
And others. It's ********. Some of the "normal" standards people just can't meet because they aren't born that way. Others really should just be preferences and there's nothing wrong with not complying to them! So... screw it. Just be ourselves!
