Define; Destroy

Location

If I could change but one thing in this world of ours

It would be the definition of normal

Or rather the existence of that vague yet constricting concept

So simple yet so broad yet so double-edged this rigid definition is

Without normal there would be no standard to be held to and compared

There would be no tight boxes nailed shut for which we must never unlock

Just imagine

To deflect the expectations which pin you in uncomfortable places 

To sunder those chains which bind us to masculine and feminine

To be allowed to love and express it without fear

To paint ourselves with all the colors we desire

To break free from the narrow scope of normality and see the magnificent possibilities before us

That is true freedom

That is what we should all change
