The truth is that I’m not someone that is easy to box into digestible labels. I’m in many ways a contradiction of things. My life path has exposed me to a multitude of experiences and perspectives that have shaped me into a multilayered and complex being. This is something that I regard as a strength, not a weakness. To be able to move through the world as someone that has a lot of to share with others and enrich their lives in the process is a huge honour, even if it means not easily fitting in with the crowds at times.
What’s important is to remember is that not fitting in isn’t a character fault, but also shouldn’t be used as an excuse to seclude yourself from the world around you. It’s ok to be misunderstood, an acquired taste, or intimidating. I still choose community, relationships, and humanity. I don’t have to be fully understood to be appreciated by others, and there’s beauty in that.
