I Just Want to be Understood (Piano Duo)

Hey Everyone!
Happy Wednesday, Happy Spring!

I decided to write something a little differently than I normally would. So this is what I like to call putting thoughts on the page without thinking too much.

This piece was inspired by my own thoughts that I really have no idea how to express except on here, because truthfully, I don't even understand. Being different from others is a great thing, but it makes it quite challenging to understand one another in certain situations. I suppose it makes sense. It's hard to understand when you can't relate.

As I was writing, I was talking to someone about things (I know that's very specific and helpful lol). There are some things I've never had any interest in, and to be told that "everyone" has done these things, or that they are "normal" and part of "being human" is just not how I think things should be.

So to this I respond, "Why would I want to be normal? Normal is overrated!" :) I don't want to be like everyone else. And if being normal means you can't be yourself, what's the point at all.

I think the first step to being understood, is to understand that everyone is different. And that's one of the great things about life. No one is exactly the same and this makes life fun and interesting. Being different is part of being human :)

Though this is not what I intended to come out of this piece, not what I was trying to convey at first, I’m so happy it did.
So go and be weird and have fun, whatever that means to you!
I hope you enjoy this piece!
