To me, personally, normal is just a labeling. Like Morticia said, it is an illusion.
Luckily, in life, we don't have to stick to one choice. We can be normal, if we want to, or take the opposite route. All depends on us and our circumstances.
What I can assure you is waking up at 6 am and Steeming is not normal to me. :D
But I am doing it anyway! :)
Hi @sidwrites! Thanks for sharing your perspective on how "normal" is a just another label (probably in the DSM?) :) Also, you waking up at 6 AM to write for Steemit, is definitely different, not what most people would do. Someday maybe, when everyone decides they've had enough of their soul draining jobs, steeming may become the new norm!! :)
