Never been Normal

What is normal? If you act a certain way and everyone just accepts it as usual behavior? If that's the case, then I've NEVER been normal. I like the people who are different. The ones that make me smile, wear goggles when they're not in science lab, worry about their hair sticking up but have holes in their pants, and the ones who live inside bubbles. I don't think I've ever met a normal person, but if I did, I think I'd be leery of them. I love who I am. Sometimes I feel weird. I feel different than everyone else, and it doesn't feel like such a good thing. Other times I feel as though my being different makes me shine brighter than any other bulb in the box. Sometimes I doubt myself, and wonder how other people will view me, but then I get some of that "fuck it" in my system and everything's good again. I know that no matter how much people say they don't care what other people think, somewhere in life they cared. And you know what? That's totally fine. That's what life is about. We're all here to interact with each other, and that's what makes the world spin.

Why aren't I normal? Because I'm a chameleon, always changing, always evolving, adapting quickly to my surroundings. The only thing that stays the same is me. Make sense? I didn't think so. What I mean is, I'll always be a chameleon, it's my colors that change. At my most comfortable, I am the creole color of my father. At my most loving, the deep chocolate of my mother. At my silliest, the creamy caramel of my sister. And sometimes I'm just me, just mocha. I am not only variations of brown, I can be others colors too, rich dark shades, and beautiful bright ones. Some will say I am a sellout for changing the way I do. I disagree. I think you have to be able to adapt, it's how we survive. The ones who are stagnant are impeding progress, if you ask me. It's the weird ones, the ones who color a little outside of the lines that make everything special.

Think about it. Are you normal? If so, what makes you that way? 'Cause whatever it is, you probably need to get rid of it. :)
