Step Thirty-Six
First off:
Happy Birthday, Yuushi! Have a wonderful day.
I'm in a bit of a philosophical mood, after seeing Sen's journal. I've asked this question before, and I've never gotten an answer.
What is normal? How does society as a whole define what normal is? Since "normal" varies so much from person to person, is there even a normal at all?
Here's a very simple example. I'm addicted to hot sauce, I have been since I was a kid. My entire family loves very spicy food, so to me, that's a normal taste. Renji, however, is of the opinion that it's a weird taste, making it unusual or abnormal. Renji likes very bland food-and to me, that's not normal.
And then I think about it in relation to my studies in special education. The students I work with have been classified as abnormal-but once again, their normal is vastly different than ours.
Hmm.
And on another note, I'm increasing my number of piercings tonight from four to six. I'm excited. =)
Private
I'm still in shock. How could Genichirou's mother just throw him out like that, for no reason except that he's gay. Hopefully, she'll calm down, but...
I never realized how lucky I am.
Renji and I made a promise to stop the infighting, for all of our sakes. And even though I hate the therapist, I'll go if it helps us. We're the only people he has now. We have to be stable.
