What is Normal?
I long to be normal, as I almost used to be. I wish I was like the "kid across the room" who would keep a distance because he or she knew that you were just a little bit different. The days of old have become a distant memory that still bring a smile to my face. The joy of playing with a childhood friend whom I've seen grow into the strong Christian guy that he is. The thrill of scoring the winning run via stealing home in a Little League baseball game. The sheer satisfaction of being seemingly invincible because bullies could never catch you. The childhood years of action, adventure and excitement have become the adult years of weariness, pain, and frustration (for me anyways). A child should enjoy those childhood years, and look forward with anticipation towards what the next 50+ years may bring. Often, a student is asked "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?". Successful?...Happy?...Alive?
Yet, what is a normal life? Once again, I bring myself to ask "By what do we base the standard on?" To a young person, an old person is different. To a rich person, a poor person is different. To a sick person, a healthy person is different. There is no single standard. There is not a single life on this earth, past or present, that is normal in perspective. Yet, every person knows that they are normal because it is the only way that they know to live. And yet, through all the changes in the past year and beyond, I also know that I am normal, because I am me. And being me is the only normal way to live. Later dayz!
My Life, My Soul, My Destiny...it all belongs to Him.
