"Since I was a kid I’ve been trying to create a narrative or a story to market myself to others as to why I’m different or why I don’t fit into the “norms” of society or culture hoping that I’d either be left alone or accepted for who I was. Never did I stop to think that maybe I’m not the one who’s strange but instead that I have a biologically driving force to be my truest self. Unfortunately,  instead I was taught that I needed to create a story to explain how I’m not different.".............
