I was thinking today about if I even knew what normal felt like anymore. People talking and participating in activities, hearing what the other person is saying, thinking quickly enough to respond or be funny or be thoughtful. Remembering conversations and building upon them the next time you see that person. Shit... recognizing people you've had full conversations with more than a week ago.
But on a serious note, I don't even remember what a normal day feels like. Surely it would feel almost overwhelming if not for all the energy I would have to deal with it again.
