A Normal Life. Does it exist? At one point or another, we think, "God, she leads such a normal life, why am I the one stuck in this one?" But do we realize that no matter what, life cannot be normal? Just because one portrays themselves in a particular way, doesn't mean that they are actually it. That is, a very friendly, happy, social and normal teenager may be a cutter or anorexic, for all you know. What one shows on the outside might not always be what one is on the inside too.

Let's take the example of a teenager.

Usually, a teenager would think that they are completely unlucky just because they don't have a good enough phone, iPod or the latest gadget that their more rich and popular rival has.

But according to the cripples out there, we are the ones who lead a normal life. We eat, play, drink, pray, paint, sing, read and hear all by ourselves. We don't depend on others and have fun on our own. 

Then, from an orphan's point of view, a cripple leads a normal life. They are loved and cared for. They receive love and most importantly, have a family.

To someone who is homeless, Orphans seem luckier. After all, they have a roof overhead. They are at least guaranteed food and good health.

At each stage, our life seems to either look normal, or completely unfair. But does a "normal life" really exist? Or is it all just an illusion that we fool ourselves with? It is the dream life that we imagine in our minds and try to achieve, but no matter what, we don't. And why? Because, after each stage, our demands and desires keep increasing. What we don't realize is, we have the potential in us to make the life that we live the one that we desire. So let's all stop. Let us be satisfied with what we have and better think of ways as to why our life is the perfect and normal one!
