Every now and then theres nothing more satisfying than getting into a deep philosophical conversation with people Ive only met minutes before. Last night I had one of those. I love to hear other peoples aspects and views on the world. Especially when theyre opinionated. One of the things that was discussed was substance abuse and drug addiction. We touched on everything, whether its really a genetic thing, environmental, learned behavior etc.. J specialized in this field which really made it a lot more interesting. The one thing that we did come to a conclusion to was that, its a terrible problem that affects all age groups, social classes and genders needing an escape from reality, trauma and emotional stress (Of course these were our own opinions.)
We also touched on the word -
NORMAL
I despise the word normal. Who decides who is normal and by what standard is anyone considered normal? Does some worldwide achievement test filled with multiple choice survey questions determine normalcy? Ive decided that the word normal should be wiped out of the dictionary when used to describe people. I think that BALANCED should replace normal. (Can you tell that Im a LIBRA??) Yep. I am and Im sure as hell not normal. Id like to say that Im balanced but who knows. Point is, normal needs to go.
On a separate note. My brother in law comes into my room every morning and looks in my mirror. He doesnt have a mirror in his room and I hope her never gets one because hes hilarious! He also values my opinion and listens when I give him wardrobe advice so in my book hes ace!
