I was a normal student. Maybe. Maybe not.
But then, nobody considers oneself normal, do they?
I kept thinking about that. What exactly does "normal" mean, anyway? Does someone "normal" have to match the description in the dictionary? Do they have to live with two loving parents, without wearing leg braces or a cultural hood? Do they have to be able to speak, and to only love the opposite gender? Do they have to pass their tests, but not because they're their own cheerleaders for themselves?
What is "normal", really?
And I don't think I match the description, with me here, talking to a star. . . .

Letting Love In
You are programmed one way. Programmed to think one way and act one way and love one way, the normal way -- the way preferred by society, the way that everyone around you does. But what if that way changes? What if something or someone changes it? What if they introduce you to change? Is change bad? Is being different a bad thing? What if the difference makes you happy? Isn't happiness what we should be striving for, and nor normalcy? So picture this, you are normal. You are the definition of normal. Your friends are seemingly normal and you think your life is fine, because its normal. Then someone interrupts that flow of normalcy by being different. They aren't society's vision of normal - they are different. And the thing is, they have no normal, they believe there should be no such word as normal, which just happens to be the word your entire life is based on. What then? Accept the different and deny yourself the adventure of it all? Would that be the normal thing to do?Complete
I'll Be There For You ~ Lams College AU

LeMme sAvE tHe mEmoRies", I chose not to take this down. This is not edited in most parts, so please, you have the right to turn around whenever you want to. --- Alexander Hamilton was taking a flight to America when a storm ahead had to make them land. As Alexander Hamilton boarded his plane from South Carolina to New York, he couldn't help but notice the beautiful eyes and freckles of a certain boy, John Laurens. They make a small talk before landing. Alex thought that chances are never that he would see him again. Boy, he was wrong.

Beautiful Darkness: A Psychopath
When you think of the word 'first love' probably the first thing on your mind would be the person you first loved, the person you first got attracted to during your youth... but to expand that certain topic... in a deeper meaning 'first love' should be the very first people you experience genuine love with. Your parents... "The only genuine love in this world," they said. But what if that said genuine love was never part of your life? What if, actually, the word is 'you raised the family' and not 'the concept of complete family raised you'? It all ends up to you believing things that's actually all fictitious. Could there still be a person who can have the power of introducing you to that 'genuine love' even if it is all too late?Complete
The Dark Mark (The Girl Who Lived part II)
After my lengthy and rather "eventful" years at Hogwarts, I've finally learned something about myself that changes my outlook on everything. I always viewed myself as "normal". Simply, "average". I fit under every category that I assumed, made me "normal". Just like everyone else. But there is no standard for being "average" or "normal" beside the one that's inside your mind. But comparing me to anyone's individual definition of "normal", I wouldn't fit their criteria. I've realized now more than ever, that I'm not the person I thought I was. I've lied to everyone I care about. Underneath my clothes, I hold a growing pain that is my ink covered skin. And I'm a spy for Lord Voldemort. In the least, I can say that I am not "normal" nor "average" from anyone's standard. I know this, because I beg for "normal".Complete
