I want to be normal.

After my therapy session today, I couldn't help but want to be like my therapist. I want to be so compassionate, so kind, so smart, so stable.

I want to be normal.

Before I log on to start my client's session I pause and wonder if anybody thinks that about me. I can't linger on this thought, though; there's work to be done. So, lights, camera, action, therapy!
