## "It's always normal."

   

It's normal to never access even the resources that any citizen deserves. Because you're the one who doesn't get in, the one who doesn't receive, the one who doesn't deserve it. Because it's normal.

It's normal for people to decide what you think. Why bother asking you? They've already deduced it from your gestures, your silences, your symbols. It's normal for your symbolic framework to be a riddle that no one wants to solve, but everyone wants to use. Because it's normal, infertility is normal. Not the biological kind—that's too intimate to achieve without creativity—but the kind that occurs when what is private without consent has become totally freely accessible to the public and amplified by social media, as befits the era of forced transparency, and which only leads to copies without attribution or misinterpretations by audiences who don't share the symbolic framework, the language, much less the pain they trivialize because they simply don't understand, thus being exploited and reduced to an aesthetic that doesn't even represent you. But there's nothing to report here, clear the area.

   

Proceed as normal among new references to emerge that don't understand the process behind one because it is normal for your work to be treated as a meme, a template, a context-free source. Superficial misinterpretations are normal, becoming a public showcase for every vulnerable place "illuminated" by the sensationalist spotlight. It's normal for respect to be optional, and for your identity to be a simple and empty source of content for others. Because, of course... "It's always normal."
