Feeling normal is a gift.

And I think people tend to take it for granted. I know I do, at least. And today I am glad I was given the gift of feeling normal.

I think I am too accustomed to separating myself from other people, whether because of my age, unusual interests, strange genetics, or whatever, and I even seem to enjoy it sometimes. It may be a subconscious thing at times as well. I usually don't mind being different and feel that it is always better to be yourself than try to be someone else. But I think there is occasionally a disconnect that happens, on a social level or even internally, which makes me feel lonely... even though separation isn't specifically loneliness. It's one of my faults, I suppose. Something I need to work on more.

Having friendly, positive interaction with anybody always brings me back. It is meaningful to me simply because it resets my general disconnect and helps me forget myself a bit. And I am grateful for the help.
