      I had a biopsych professor who started most classes with:

      Normal gets said a lot, it’s the average range most people are for that very specific thing. None of us are completely normal, and if anyone was they’d probably be the most unique person on the planet

      Great message, a tad over dramatic, and definitely got repetitive quick.

      But it’s important to remember none of us really think the same, and there isn’t really a “normal” like people usually think of.

      If we weren’t all so different, it wouldn’t be so notable when we vibe with someone.
