Your welcome Cyn, that was superb writing btw! I resonated and sympathized with your story. Guys get bullied too, but girls can sometimes be meaner how they go about it. For guys, it's either a rite of passage or something that you never overcome. Not super proud of this, but multiple times I've overcome bullying with violence. It's probably not something that would fly today, but back in the day, you could get in fights without the police getting involved. Today, they'll put cuffs on a five-year-old because everything has gotten so upside down. Anyhow. Good on you for embracing and turning up your inner weird. There are too many people living inauthentic lives and putting on airs because society makes them afraid to explore, for lack of a better word, their "weirdness." Weirdness and uniqueness aren't distinct cousins, and modern society likes to program cookie-cutter people into doing the cookie-cutter things. As they say, variety is the spice of life! Keep on being true to yourself! ~ ❤️🙏 ~
