People see me as their little Harajuku girl......
...and I am anything but normal...typical...average... [/b]
I am constantly searching for clarity amongst the clutter and the fog. Sometimes you think you see light, but it is but a fraction. When does everything make sense?[/b]
I love to find things that are different, something that stands out. I have stood out my whole life, and when I want to blend in, i realize that you can get lost. I never want to get lost in a crowd, and be normal.
What is normal, if not a standard that we can achieve by simply not trying hard at all. If you want to be better, and if you want to be something, you can't be normal. Who would want to be normal when it seems that everyone is normal. Am i normal? Are you normal? Who gets to decide that???

If beauty rests in the eye of the beholder, I wish that everyone were blind.
