Are there normal people? I doubt it unless it's me, and you and some friends.
Left, right isn't about normal but about fitting into some box or drawer or some shed, bunker, basement, attic.

Stay positive isn't easy at all.. if real is bad depends on who, what and where you are.

Cool photos you shared St Nicolaas doesn't look very normal but I doubt we noticed it as kids although I have to admit I felt very disappointed as I noticed the Sint didn't wear normal shoes but sandals.
