{{Blockquote|quote="I am done with living a life that is acceptable to someone else's standards of "normal". As a female, it is not "normal" to prioritize your life around a sport. I do. It is not "normal" to only live in an area for 6 months because you have to go to your next season. I do. It is not "normal" to miss holidays with the family because you are playing soccer. I do. It is not "normal" to be gay. I am. It's not "normal" to not know what you want to do with your life. I don't. The list goes on and on, but it shouldn't matter because what even is normal?"}}
