Normal?

I was thinking the other day about the topic of "being normal". It stumped me for a second, as it thought to myself "am I normal"? Well, to find the answer to that question we have to know what normal is to find out what separates the normal from the not so normal. Has normal for this generation become playing everything"safe"? Instead of being ourselves and living our lives to the fullest, it seems we put on a mask and become someone else for a while as we put on a show for them, so that we may become normal for those we call our friends? If they are our friends, then why must we become someone else to become ourselves? To be honest I still don't know what the answer is. But I hope that one day normal becomes who we are and not what our friends want us to be.
