"normal is an illusion. what is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly."
look good they say
try your best they say
look presentable they say
listen to him they say
they act like it's normal
it's normal to look good after hiding bruises
it's normal to try your best when you've given up with life
it's normal to look presentable when you've tried stitching yourself back up
it's normal to listen to him when he says "i love you" after the whips hit
