Not My Image - From "Wait - What?"
....I have found great peace in following
my own path instead of the one
those around me encouraged
me to take..
...and...
this is not to say that it's been easy..
there is always pushback /
shaming when one steps
away from the pack's
behaviors and
mores...
"Why do you have to be that way?"
is their cry, trying to rope
me back into living
the way that
would
make
them
comfortable.
Here's the thing:
I tried that for a while, and
sure enough people felt
more comfortable
- but -
it made me
want to
die.
