1 min read

What is normal? It’s a myth created by societies to tell us how we can and cannot be. Our differences make us what we can call ourselves. Society has convinced so many of us that we aren’t normal, aren’t worthy of love, aren’t beautiful. The weeds amongst wildflowers are often passed by, being seen as easy, harmful, ugly.

“Oh, shit,” Charlie muttered.

“Oh, shit,” Alison mimicked.

“Fuck this,” Penelope threw her hands up. The trio started stepping backwards cautiously, unable to tear their eyes away from the scene in front of them.
