Milomi's world

This is a notion almost all of us have felt after reading fictional books, or watching fictional movies. We tend to wish we were in their place. We tend to wish that we were born in a different reality where we were the sun in our solar system. Where everything rotated around us. Where we were the heroes and where we saved the world. And where then world knew our name.

We don’t want to be normal. We want to have superpowers and be wizards and go on adventures. And while we envy fiction, our lives fly pass, without us noticing. We try to hard to not be normal. We try too hard to stand out. Alas, the universe is never in our favor. Alas, we remain normal.

Will we realize that being normal is a privilege? Being normal is a relief before life becomes real. Before all your tries to be abnormal are noticed and scoffed upon. To be normal is too be free and not bound. To have an ambition and to pursue it. Heroes, however, have to fulfill their destiny. If they fail in doing so, then everyone dies. They cannot drop out and they can’t afford mistakes. And sometimes if not always, they too, wish to be normal. They wish to be able to do what they please without a million eyes on their backs – watching them. They wish to be like us. To be normal.

There is nothing wrong in being normal. There is no shame, nothing to be shy of. There is pride.
