Normality

3 min readApr 28, 2026

I never understood why we hate them so much. After all, they never did anything to us, but we give ourselves the right to insult, intimidate, judge, mock and discriminate. They’re not like the norm, but what’s the norm ? We allow oursleves to laugh at those who have the braveness to show who they really are. Ask a few people in the streets, are you the same person when you’re alone and when you’re with your friends, your family or your partner. The majority will tell you that no. In the end, not being part of the norm is ideal. You can be who you want, do what seems fair, dress however you like, put on makeup if you wish to, do your life with the person your heart chose, become who you dream of becoming, accomplish your desires. Yet, the people who are called strange are forced to hide, to close in on themselves to the point of forgetting the liberation that it is to be them. It’s true, nobody wants to be the victim of the mockings, why deciding to stand out when you can be “Normal”. Normal, Normality, Norms, all those words so badly used. Think about it for a moment, when did modifying who we are to live according to stupid criterias like something that can’t be changed (sexuality, identity, etc.) became normal ? What should be the norme is showing who we are inside, show what passionate us, what we like and dislike. Normality should be living like we want to and to be what we want to be. The facade that we created to please society, excuse the language but let it go to hell. Break it with big hits of originality, differences and oddities. Be proud of what makes you someone different, because being different, it’s not being part of the norms. And not being part of the norms, here’s what should be the normality. So, if you are of a certain religion, a certain country, a certain sexuality, a certain skincolor, a man, a woman, neither of them, a child, a furry, a member of the LGBTQ community, if you like something, show it to the entire world. Don’t be ashamed of who you are. Normality shouldn’t be hiding who we are, but showing it. If one by one, we show who’s the real us. One day, I hope, that not being part of the norm will mean hiding behind a mask. We shouldn’t encourage the disappearance of our people, but encourage the demonstration. And even if someone isn’t in the norm, whether this person shows who she is or not, whether this person is proud of themselves or not. There is no point in ridiculing them. One day, the world will understand that the norm, it’s us. Not the us: everybody, the us: You, me, him, her.
