My experience of normality is that it is used to separate people who are considered “less than” in some way.

Healthy, good, acceptable, desirable, and so on

Sparrow

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.

Helping out

Oscar - audio

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

David

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.
