“Sometimes I wish I didn’t find my home in the depths. That I didn’t crave connection below the pretty surface of things. I've wished to be like all of “them”—the ones who live neat and tidy lives, not always asking questions or seeking more. Able to ignore the dull ache that speaks to places inside me that long to be seen. Performing a predecided role for external approval. Practiced at tucking away parts that don’t fit the prescribed notions for how one should be or act or feel or want or love or fuck or live. But that will never be me.” AuthenticitySelf AcceptanceNon ConformityPersonal IdentityDeep ConnectionsInner LongingLiving TruthfullyFeeling Out Of PlaceRejection Of Societal NormsSeeking Deeper Meaning Author:Jeanette LeBlanc
