1 They say I'm not normal period.

This, of course is coming from the jocks, the preps, the Xtians, the punks, the losers, the winners, the teachers, the counselors, my friends, my enemies, the dogs, the cats, the tables. The chairs, too. They wonder why I can't just sit in them like a normal freaking person. Whatever. What they don't know is that I'm secretly happier than them. they might not know it by looking at me, since sometimes I look like I'm having a really rough time, but it's true. You see, one of the many keys to happiness is individuality, and you gotta have all the keys before you're really happy. Many people don't, and many of those seem to think they do. They think that statistics on suicides and self mutilation have everything to do with happiness among queer teens, when really, all they have to do with queer teens is statistics. Numbers that may or may not accurately represent the truth. I think that being abnormal, specifically being gay makes you happy. Maybe it isn't just a coincidence of words, maybe we really are gay.
