Be Yourself

What's been hard for me my whole life is that I've never been conforming. From day one, I felt different. I didn't understand why people were mean or why people were treated badly because of skin color. None of it made sense to me. Early on, I felt like a misfit. Getting interested in astrology before most people confirmed that sense of being different. I'm a woman attracted to men and women, and I don't identify as anything specific, which didn't make things easier. The truth is, I think I'm well suited to be an oddball. And I think that's been hard. But I think as an outlier or an outsider, I've been able to offer everybody that has a wound about belonging a place to belong. The wound is where the light comes in. And I think people often mistake that I am the wound. It's not. I have the wound. I am not the wound. The biggest hindrance to growth is asking, 'Well, what are they doing? Should I be doing that?' What I've been able to do and support others to do is if you don't feel like you fit in, great. You can stand out.
