I’ve
been thinking about my blog very seriously in the past two weeks. I’m not here
to offend anyone and the only bridges that should end burning are the ones
already smoking. I don’t want to push people away with this or to become
condescending. The truth is, I want to start taking the advice I dish out, a “practice
what you preach” if you will. Because let’s be honest here, I’m not exactly
scot-free. I need to start making changes. And yes, it’s hard living a life in
which you are different, no matter how small. And sometimes, we hide from
ourselves and blame ourselves for being different. Being ashamed of being
different or yourself is a terrible feeling. It’s not always easy to accept who
we are and sometimes we get lost and blame the wrong people. Sometimes, we push
away the people who are important to us because we don’t know what to say to
them. But it’s reached the point that keeping my thoughts, feelings, and ideas
to myself is no longer acceptable and it’s stifling the person I am striving to
be. Lately, I have been asked a lot of personal questions about my life and for
the first time in a long time I’ve been answering them honestly and thinking
about how the different episodes have affected me, whether it is negative or a
learning experience. It’s hard speaking the truth about a way of life you have
lived, especially if that’s all you’ve known until recently. I’m just trying to
take a satirical approach to my life, my problems and I how I deal with
everything. There are always two sides
to every story; this just happens to be my side.
