Aberrant

Aberrant is defined as:  departing from the right, normal, or usual course. 2. deviating from the ordinary, usual, or normal type; exceptional; abnormal.

Am I exceptional or abnormal?  I've asked myself this very question many times since Blake's death or after the experience of my second divorce.  In one breath, living in my car to gather my brain appeared to many as abnormal, yet as I exhale I see the strength in even taking the first step to do such a thing.

In my mind, I'm neither.  I'm simply me.

I never departed from the right, as what I did was never wrong.  It was simply what I needed to do.

Normal is simply a perspective, place upon something.  A judgement by others who have no business.

When I look at my life, the death of my son, two divorces is my course.  I can take no other.

This morning Taylor was reading from her ethics book and brought up this word.  It intrigued me, so I wrote about it.
