After my recent post on normality, I've been putting a lot of thought on the particular subject. I've started a quest of breaking free from normalcy, taking the road less traveled if you will.
And I'm not even referring to the thought of normality in terms of socially, blending in with your friends, peers, etc. For instance, I try to go to bed at a decent time. Usually between 10 and 11, but where's the fun in that? Nobody ever remembers the nights that they got enough sleep.
So instead I broke free from this habit and went to bed at 12. Sure, I regretted it this morning at 6, but I had one hell of a time playing Temple Run 2 and watching reruns of my favorite 90s sitcoms. Even if it was a mistake, that's the point in life isn't it? I wouldn't be a teenager if I'd never made a few bad choices.
Also this morning I made my bed. Why? Because it wasn't usual, the same, normal. It was a break from my routine. Change a habit for one day, not forever, but do it just once. Make your bed. Don't make your bed. Eat breakfast first. Brush your teeth last. Spend way too long on the computer.
Make mistakes.
Stay up late.
Don't be normal.
Have a fabulous Tuesday.

Rainy Thursdays
I'm currently sitting in the dark, illuminated by the faint glow of my TV and iPhone, with the soft hum of rain in the background.
With a can of BBQ Pringles by my side, I'm bringing you my thoughts on this drizzly day.
Aside from the constant drops of water on our government bought windows, school was the same. During fourth period I came to a boredom led conclusion:
Normality is bad.
In the land of high school, everybody wants to be normal but nobody wants to be the same, two things I feel go hand in hand. Honestly, the latter is usually a silent wish. A dream that never happens because becoming different requires becoming abnormal, social suicide if you'd like (yes, I just semi-quoted Mean Girls).
I guess one of my favorite quotes helps sum up the dilemma:
"It is only when we decide that 'ordinary' is an insult, that we become the exquisite miracles we were born to be.”
And we are exquisite miracles at that.
Have a fabulous day.
