The <a rel="nofollow">label of normal</a> is just that a label, "We have been changed by our experiences in war, we will forever think like a warrior. We have seen and done what people think they can imagine, but we know they cannot. This does not have to separate us from everyone, what you have discovered is the illusion of normalcy. Social norms, family norms and professional norms whether the military or the corporate world we all follow a list of rules that govern our behavior in many settings. Normal is a label, not a state of mind or being. Your journey is to accept this, healing begins by accepting yourself."Scott Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17861938200417302754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8207713177773691778.post-51159746424455263482012-02-07T17:59:31.027-05:002012-02-07T17:59:31.027-05:00Hi Scott,

I struggle with the label of normal, nothing seems the same after coming home. Sometimes I will just sit and stare at wall and think of how much everything has changed, but is it everything or was it all just in my head. Keep up the work on the blog, I enjoy coming here to read and having things make sense. BrandonBshonyohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03432239392470017610noreply@blogger.com
