The new normal

Normal. What does that word mean? What does it look like? The definition of normal actually reads: 

1. conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural. 
2. serving to establish a standard.

But does this still even define what normal actually means to us. So many times we try to give this word a certain type of look. But the truth is its a name with no face.

 For so long in my life I've said to myself "why can't I just be normal?"  Why can't I just have a plain normal life? Why is everything so hard for me? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's spoken those words. In fact I'm sure that my abnormalness is the culprit in me not having things I wanted. I'm overweight, a single mom, weird, don't know what to say out of my mouth, living from pay check to pay check, not married. All the opposite of what anyone would ever put the word normal next to. I'm the square peg in the round hole. 

So what happens to the abnormal? Where do we go? If I was a piece of clothing I'd be at a clearance store in the "irregular" section. The land of misfit toys lol. But just like those clothes

and toys. I still serve a purpose. I'm still important. I can still be used for good. I can still be wanted by someone. I can still find a place to fit. 

Not everything that's abnormal is bad. They just need to be placed in the loving hands of someone who thinks that no matter who you are or what you are or have been that you are still fearfully and wonderfully made.
