I want to be normal.
I want my body to look like everyone else's.
I want my body to function like everyone else's.
I want to feel like everyone else.
I just want to be normal.
Get in the car and go.
Not think about it.
Drive without anxiety.
Go a day without a panic attack.
Go a day without tears.
A day without being in pain.
Go a day without making myself bleed.
Handle things without melting down.
I want to have a normal family.
And a normal relationship with them.
I want to have a conversation with someone and not overthink it.
I want to wake up and have breakfast, not just eat because I have to have food with my pills.
I don't want to be on medications.
I want a normal brain.
One that does wage war on itself every day.
One that doesn't have a tumor to fuck up my life.
I just want a normal life.
The problem?
I don't even know what normal looks like.
