Is it normal, since 13, to want to study ants?

I started all this from 13 years old, and physically studied ants and wanted to study them, and the whole time it wasn't other insects like flies, mosquitos, maggots, fleas, etc I wanted to study, although I learned about mosquitos in high school, but I wanted to study ants! It's called myrmecology. But I thought until now I was merely doing entomology (the study of all insects), but it was really about ants. Ants are cute. :) I even shared on Facebook a post from a website on myrmecology. I looked at an ant's face under a microscope when I was 13. And I proved to the Mormon elders of the church, in the park, that ants have compound eyes, which is excruciatingly difficult, because Christians deny science although a scientist is very good at convincing Christians of scientific fact, and I told them it's a scientific fact, so I was and still am very and lovingly glad I physically studied ants, which I haven't done for 2 decades, until now when I'm eager to study ants at the age of 35 years, and to get a book on ants and read in it. Is any of this normal?
