Norm Vs MeNorm: A culturally established rule prescribing appropriate social behaviour. Expectations of how a person or persons will behave in a given situation based on established protocols, rules of conduct or accepted social practices. I have the tendancy to form a boundary between the norm and me. I refuse to be in the Norm. Maybe I just want to be special. I am a dreamer, who wish to fly, who wish to retire before 40, who wish to love like a teen, who wish to love my job. n now you tell me this is not the reality, that i should wake up and follow the norm. Maybe I can't make you proud, just by being a nice daughter, a great sister. Do you wish I can be just like you? I totally understand where you are coming from, I know people hate to hear what's right, I believe I need a kick on the butt. Now I am stuck, in my favourite city when my favourite people are gradually leaving to the city I dislike. I think, I need to go somewhere unfamiliar, so I can know who i am, and where i stand.
