The cliche is always "why be normal when you can be so much more". I think the definition of normal needs to be explained in this context. Normal doesn't mean the same or like everyone else, Normal here means happy and right.
I don't think it's fair to categorize normal with ordinary, I don't think the feeling of normal is the same as being normal. To feel normal requires a lot more from the human pysche than the purely being normal. You work at feeling normal in most situation because everything that happens mostly deviates from the norm.
I chase normalcy when unrequited love is experience only to love someone in the right way and care about them better, happier… normal.
I chase normalcy is loss because the other option is hard to bare. No one wants to wallow in loss and the pain loss brings, some sense of normalcy is the only way to deal with it. If there is a no sense of normally, the pain and the fear of its constant presence can weigh a person down.
Normalcy from the extraordinary, even a raging supernova was once a sparkling star. Being so much more than normal can be hard work. Sometimes normalcy just means being a dwarf star rather a supernova.
Normalcy from the mundane, even the day to day can be overwhelming. A normal day shouldn't be too much to ask.
Normalcy: that's the watch word. "I am trying desperately hard to be normal someone once day to me, but is so darn hard I think I will give up on it."
Normal isn't easy but a little bit of it would be great. The world promises so much sometimes, you just need to take a step back and separate the amazing and the will destroying.
Time to stop being afraid and just fit in to the boundaries of your dwarf star.
