The idea that you’re a Misfit (don't fit in, don't belong) is a LIE, no matter how painful your evidence to prove it is or how long you’ve accumulated that evidence. Exposing the lie takes time, and defeating it can be messy, but you can do it. That’s when you transform from Misfit Shame to Outlier Pride.

Don't accept anyone else's idea of what your life should look like. If the circumstances in which you can thrive don't exist, create them. It may not be easy, and it may take time but you CAN do it. How could you do anything else when that's who you are -- someone who creates her life based on the truth of who she really is. ;)
