Normalcy is a moving target, identified through the lens of a flawed observer.

When we contort ourselves to achieve normalcy, we rarely factor in taking us X amount of time to get to this normal that we have defined. When we get there, the normal that we were looking for has moved.

If the normal we desire is measurable or identifiable, we are often seeking an association with that item, not the thing itself.

If the normal we desire is a state of being, what we are admiring is the effort in achieving it.
