Right now I’m reading Kelly Cutrone’s new book, Normal Gets You Nowhere. Within the first few pages of the book, she states the dictionary definition of normal as defined by Merriam-Webster. People don’t realize that normal essentially means average. If you want to be “more” in this world, you are going to stand out and you can’t be average. Here’s the definition.

Normal: 1. according with, constituting, or not deviating from a norm, rule, or principle; 2. conforming to a type, standard, or regular pattern; 3. of relating to, or characterized by average intelligence or development.
