“I’ve always tried to understand
the ‘normal’ around me,
and I’ve always found beauty
in the ‘normal’ around me.

In that way, everyone in my life
—like people I have connections with—
are not normal,
they are extraordinary.

They inspire me,
they give meaning to my life.

So-called normal-ness gives me meaning,
it makes me a better person.”
