Sometimes I look at the people who think they're better than me and wonder what's behind the mask...
Who are they really without globs of make-up, nicer clothes and invented privilege?
I'm betting, they're not much different than me actually. Just hidden.
I wonder if they know I see straight through the garb and maybe that's why I repel them.
It must be easier to label me unpleasant and too much.
I used to have friends. Before I remembered things and experienced difficult things, people found me acceptable. They'd be seen in public with me, they'd talk to me, look at me, treat me like I existed.
But life taught me a lot and I don't live in the masked world anymore. It's just unfortunate that people are so afraid of being truly seen that they reject someone who truly sees them, flaws and all, and still accepts them. To me, that is the most beautiful, precious gift a human can give another human.
Acceptance and love.
I know not to expect it from others. Except for a few people here, my son and animals, I will likely always be unwanted. I'm thankful for the people who understand there's nothing wrong with me, it's okay to be different, and how much more interesting and liberating it is to not fit the mold or put on a mask.
Cheers to the weirdos and freaks 🖤
