Conceptualized Normality

-Society's view of the normal person is so far off that I am yet to meet a single person that has told me that they are this normal we speak of. Nobody meets the unwritten requirements of this conceptualized normality that we use so loosely. This normal is a powerful stipulation whose crutches enable negative judgments and justify cruelty. It is a unique opinion based illusion. As a matter of fact, it’s not evenreal. Please break this chain. This is complete bullshit and you know it! It takes one to know one and I know you're not..., normal. This is because you actually exist. Judgment driven, unspoken means of categorizing people into classifications based off of your opinion of their sanity…? News flash! Nobody knows your normal; nobody knows where their rank is upon your imaginary pedestal. I would like to give you a moment to agree or disagree... I would like to introduce myself in a manner that I would feel suits this occasion. "Hi, I'm Chris.” I am a real person that lives in the real world. I am far from this normal we speak of. I feel that you can relate to me right now. Open wide, chew on this… “Hey Normal! I'm giving you to the count of three to speak up or forever hold your peace...
One... Two... Three!"
