Deep Thought and a Comic that Doesn't Quite Fit



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.
