Footprints in the Sand

Do you ever feel like you're sooo over something? Or maybe someone?
And you have moved on, yet being reminded of it still brings some semblance of pain?
Not that aching hole in your heart and the sudden feeling that crying will fix everything.
Not nearly as severe as that. That chapter has been sealed with smiles and tears.
You feel a longing almost too soft of a whisper to be considered relevant, but its still there.
Like, no matter how much you have healed and moved on, a small part of you won't let go.
Ever.
At all.
Like once you started moving forward, a part of you stayed in that one spot, forever rooted there.

I just need to know why. And not the answer you gave me. I understand that answer, but there's a deeper part that i don't understand. Why so suddenly? Literally it was overnight.
Why'd you lie to me? Don't tell me what you think i want to hear, tell me what's really happening. If you want me out of your life then tell me. If you remember anything about me, then the fact that i ALWAYS understand should be it. I've been nothing but nice; trying to be there for you no matter what's going on with me. The least you could do in return is tell me that you don't want to be my friend.

All I want to know is why before i say goodbye.
And the saddest part is you probably won't even read this...

Normal is Overrated

nor·mal [nawr-muhl] 

–adjective 

conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; notabnormal; regular; natural.

Normal.

Normalcy.

Synonyms: average, commonplace, traditional.

Antonyms: Me

What is normal? Like, what is it really??

Is it following the same pattern as those before you? 

Is it being a follower, like every self-esteem boosting campaign tells you not to be?

I can tell you what it is.

Normal is not questioning the world around you, even if you're questions are beyond other's comprehension.

Normal is not dancing around your room in mismatched sweats, socks, and a t-shirt, singing along with a hair brush for a mic.

Normal is not making faces at your friend over vchat for an hour,  saying nothing and giggling at everything.

Normal is not me.

weird [weerd]

–adjective

involving or suggesting the supernatural; unearthly or uncanny; fantastic; bizarre; abnormal.

Weird.

Abnormal.

Synonyms: awe-inspiring, odd, Asha.

Antonyms: regular, usual, normal.

Why does everyone emphasize being normal? We don't even know what normal is!

Nobody is normal.

Nobody.

We all have our weird quirks, but isn't that what makes us normal?

Does anyone really want to be "normal"? Want to be predictable, routine, standard?

Because that would make you abnormal.

In all actuality normal is weird and weird is normal.

I want you to say it out loud:

Normal is weird. Weird is normal.

Everyone is weird because no two people are alike.

That's what makes us all work so well together.

We compliment one another.

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird. When we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness. We call it love. ♥
