    I can relate to this..When I was younger I cried at night wishing I was like the other girls in my class. Long blond hair with blue eyes and a likeable personality.. those seemed to be the types guys went after. One day I just stopped caring. I dont know how I did it but I felt a thousand times happier as soon as I did.

    This song makes me wanna happy cry. Knowing it exist, knowing somebody like her that feels this way exist, knowing other people out there feel this way too. It's comforting and sad at the same time. Just know time heals all wounds, these feelings are pure and true to who u are, so if nobody else will, be proud of yourself for finding a way to push through these thoughts and be okay knowing someone else will treat u how u should be for being yourself. Never stop being u for nobody. U have my support on that. This song really do just hit different.

    I know sza will never see this but I just want her to know how much this song impacts me and how much I relate to it. I am a transgender woman and all my life I have just wanted to be a normal girl. I know that no matter what I do I will never be that but I have to realize that the people who put me down and degrade me are nothing. Just like she says this time next year I'll be living so good won't Remember anyone who has ever doubted me. This song is so amazing and I really feel touched and I absolutely love you for this. 💖

      Im gonna be honest. Im 16 and it seams that alot of people my age are trans or part of the lgbtq+ comunity. When i see these trans woman they really and truly woman. ( or their preferred pronouns) honestly no one is "normal" which in a wayb makes everyone normal :) just wanted to say be you, your doing fine and you deserve so much more out of this life!

    As girl with late diagnosed autism this song cuts deep. I tried to be a ‘normal girl’ for years and never felt like I fit in. Men take advantage of me easily and treat me like a manic pixie dream girl, while always keeping our relationship on the low. I’m a lot more comfortable in my own skin now but when I see a group of normal girls I can’t help but wish I was like them.

  • @b3lla_jar333
    @b3lla_jar333 4 года назад +1510

    I love this song so much, It truly helps me and other people who are considered "weird" and "different" in our society. It shows us, that we don't have to conform to what society deems as "normal" and to stick to our roots, our personality, and our morals. No matter if it's our family, our significant other or people we come across in our lives trying to change us. This song helped me cope with leaving a toxic relationship, the boy was trying to mold me into his perfect, normal girl which I simply am not. I lost a lot of myself, my personality, my hobbies, and my friends to stabilize that relationship. This song showed me, we must celebrate ourselves and be proud of our so-called "weirdness", no matter who comes into our life. Stay true to yourself and don't change yourself for anyone, all our weird and different traits make us individual and unique in our own way. Thank you SZA

    Little bit of a rant but this song hits hard, especially at 0:51 when she talks about how she wishes she was different. When I was younger I would actually wish on stars that my hair was straight cause I had always been told that curly hair wasn’t desirable or pretty. Looking back I realize how sad that actually was 😭😭 however I’ve learned to embrace my curls and get a ton of compliments so I’m glad I stopped trying to change myself .

    [Verse 1]
    You love the way I pop my top
    Or how I lose my cool
    Or how I look at you
    Say why?
    It ain't no fighting, no I can't stop it
    This took a while, yeah
    For the way I pump my fist or how I bust my hip
    For your affection, tryna be down
    No fighting and no stoppin'
    Stick around
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Wish I was the type of girl you take over to mama
    The type of girl, I know my daddy, he'd be proud of
    Yeah, be proud of
    Be proud of, be proud, you know, you know
    I wanna be the type of girl you take home to your mama
    The type of girl, I know your fellas would be proud of
    Be proud of, be proud of, be proud of, boy you know
    [Chorus]
    Normal girl
    I wish I was a normal girl, oh my
    How do I be? How do I be a lady?
    Normal girl, oh
    I wish I was a normal girl
    I'll never be, no, never be uh
    [Verse 2]
    You like it, when I be, aggressive
    You like when I say to you
    "Get it if you got it, I'm ready and waitin' for it
    I'm callin' to put it on," yeah
    Like it, when I be, aggressive
    Love when I say to you
    "Get it if you want it, I'm waiting, I'm gonna find you
    I'm ready to put it on you," yeah, yeah, yeah
    [Pre-Chorus]
    Type of girl you wanna take home to mama
    Wanna be the type of girl my daddy, he'd be proud of
    Be proud of, be proud of, be proud of you know, you know
    The type of girl you wanna take home right up to mama
    The kind of girl, I know your fellas, they'd be proud of
    I'll be probably, I'll be proud like, I'll be probably a problem, oh
    (No fantasy, no fantasy)
    [Chorus]
    I really wish a was a normal girl, oh my
    How do I be, how do I be a lady?
    Normal girl, oh
    I wish I was a normal girl, oh babe
    I'll never be, no never be, uh
    [Bridge]
    This time next year I'll be livin' so good
    Won't remember your name, I swear
    Livin' so good, livin' so good, livin' so good
    This time next year I'll be livin' so good
    Won't remember no pain, I swear
    Before that you figured out, that I was just a normal girl
    [Outro]
    Normal girl, what do you say now?
    We own the world, 'cause it ain't going away now
    Wait on yourself 'cause you can figure your way out
    Normal girl
    How do you be?

He sounded like my personality, my attitudes always have problem, that made him never wanted to introduce me to anyone close to him cuz he was worried that i will embarrass him in front of people. He always made me feel like I'm abnormal. But we broke up, I found someone new, the new guy likes me, understands me and he said he understands my attitudes, my personality. He proudly introduced me to anyone in his life. We might just stay as friends, but I just wanna say " Girls, you have no problems when you are being who you are. People want to love you, they will stay and keep their patience! Remember that! "
