2/5

oh, btw
all that stuff i say about "my world",
it's the antithesis of
how i was brought up,
how i was schooled,
and what i believed for the first 4/5 of my life.

this was not an easy place to find and i'm still learning how to navigate in it,
maybe that's why i am so protective of it,
maybe that's why i put such a high value on it
maybe that's why it hurts so much to have it rejected.
