Insane Sanity
September 9, 2013
Those who think they are
normal are the craziest
people in the world.
But the sanest of
people are those who embrace
their insanity.

After reading this...I think it's safe to say I am definitely in love. Your insights are beautiful, and the thought process I know is a phenonmenon. Can you critique me? Hearing from someone ike you would make me so happy as a writer, and as a person!

I'm only ever sweet and kind when it comes to you. Love you, doll. ;D
Hey, Liv, it's been too long since we last chatted. Normality is something invented by man to make others whom he/she doesn't like in order to make them feel inferior due to a difference of opinions and likings. I too believe I am cray and I know it! Thanks for commenting. ~Mckay.

haha i love it. Its true, what is normal? Normal is nothing actually, just a lie told to make ourselves feel better, but in most cases worse. NOT ME THOUGH! I am the craziest person I know, and yet the beauty is that I know that!!! It only goes to show how truly insane my little brain is ;) Anyway, keep spitting out pieces (or whatever u do) cuz this was awesome sauce :) Keep rockin mckay ~Liv
Yes! I love that quote. It's a partial inspiration for this poem. I've wanted to add it in my favorite quotes here on Teenink. Nonetheless, it appears I don't have space for it. -_- Oh well. Thank you. I will certainly try to keep writing as long as I'm still mad enough to write.

i'm showing this to all my insane friends. that is basically our motto, written into poetry. thumbs up!
I'm honored that you've been reading all of my work. Thank you. I don't intentionally write a short poem then a long one. I hadn't have even given that thought before...thank you for poiting that out. I'm touched really by your feedback. I appreciate it.

Thank you for once again putting your thoughts onto paper (screen/word document) flawlessly. There is indeed no such thing as normal. Besides, even if there were such a thing as normal, who the heck would wanna be "normal"? Normal is boring; boring is no fun.
