About This Quote
In a small town, people tend to have a narrow view of what is considered normal. This can be seen as restrictive since those people who are different from the norm are viewed as being abnormal. In the town I grew up in, having freckles was considered an abnormality. In fact, it was weird and nobody ever talked about it unless you had them – which meant you didn’t fit in with the rest of the town.
