I Am Normal

Normal means ordinary.

Sometimes I think of myself as too normal.

As if it is a bad thing.

I am 12.

I live in the U.S in a big city.

I have my own bed and my family is middle class.

I go to school and get pretty good grades.

I'm white and both of my parents have stable jobs.

I live in a good neighborhood.

I'm super lucky and I am very thankful for my life.

I am into things like acting and singing and blogging.

I am not that good at them though.

I don't have many defining qualities or achievements or hobbies.

I'm not that great at anything.

I'm just me.

Lots of people have those qualities.

Those hobbies.

Those achievements.

They go to places after school and actually practice those things.

There part of a dance studio.

Or they have their art in an exhibit.

Me?

I walk home every day and watch youtube and occasionally talk to the internet.

I have been thinking about this a lot lately.

My "normalness".

And I realized something.

That's not a thing.

And never has been.

Every single person has unique features that make them who they are.

Every single person is different in their own way.

But when I type that.

I think about how cheesy it sounds.

And I am like.

Do I really believe that?

The anwser is probably not.

But I am trying.

Because truly I do have interests and hobbies and all of those things.

I love photography and a bunch of other stuff.

I'm me and I'm pretty normal.

I haven't gone through an earthquake or met the president or anything.

But am I not sad about that.

Not really.

Now here's a question I have for you.

What defines you?
