I see everything around me as an inverted bell curve.

Give a girl flowers
Finding a girl we need to give a girl flowers, go to a restaurant, say hi, get to know them, and fall in love.
We are all smart
I not retarded. I don’t speak retarded.
A privileged majority to which I do not belong
My experience of normality is that it is used to separate people who are considered “less than” in some way.
My life is not the way I want it to be
Disability means there are many things most people can do and I can’t.
Creating peace
Whenever I hear normal, I think of being natural.
Healthy, good, acceptable, desirable, and so on
I used to try to push through exhaustion and felt guilty and ashamed if I couldn’t do what normal people do every day. That is another oppression of the word normal is that it can lead people to push their bodies beyond healthy limits.
Odd interests or idiosyncrasies
I am objectified due to my disability but the people who are objectifying me do not know I have a disability.
Helping out
Normal means how to help out in certain ways. Traveling, taking walks, and moving around (in any way that helps be motivated to be in the community and feel supported).
What I got to do
Normal is what I am doing. What I have to do, need to do, and got to do. Goals. Is to clean my bedroom and bathroom before I go somewhere. Do my laundry. Check on my family. Attend weekly meetings for true religion. Watch sports on television. I feel grateful. I feel equal.
