Who makes definition of normal? Can't I put on a red Mohawk hairstyle and call myself normal? No, because normal people somehow don't do that. Normal people walk around unnoticed. I don't know why but being nothing, being unnoticeable is normal. And in our society being nothing is more important than being yourself.
Yes, young adults claim that being yourself is the most important thing, but what if I am the red Mohawk kind of person? Older adults don't even try to understand it, they just judge you for being you. I know I sound like some kind of emotional teenage girl, but I'm not and I still struggle with this problem.
Also have you noticed how much the definition of normal has changed? All the "hipster" stuff going around, looking like a poor person with overpriced things in your "vintage" handbag. All the people looking alike, making it feel like there was a glitch in a matrix and all.Now this is normal. Being against normal became normal(am I still making sense?). Hipsters' nightmare became true: they've became mainstream.
And I'm not trying to say you should not be hipster or not be normal. I think people all should be different. By that I mean different from each other. Yea, it happens that you find someone that likes or looks like you, but I'm sure there won't be a crowd of those. Sharing an interest with a few people is a good way to find friends, but sharing an interest with the biggest part of society just because it is normal and not necessarily you fond of the thing is just wrong. Of course if you genuinely like what 99% of your town likes, that's fine. The most important thing is to understand what you really want and like and not follow mentality of a herd.
Overall be your own version of a human. Change it, update it, take care of it and treat it right! Don't be afraid to be different! Be afraid to be nothing!
