SOS Sides of the Spectrum - Original Poem by Aiden Lee - Episode 30

Title "The price of being different" an original poem written by Aiden Lee. 

From the perspective of Aiden's dad, 'It's out of sheer instincts for survival that we share these stories of adversity and triumphs. When our minds scream for us to give up, we know that to give in would be to be to allow the darkness to gain ground. We struggle to do basic things, every task a fight, but we fight to exist, and to be seen. Don't judge what you don't understand. Let's keep our mind open and hearts free to love through poetry and art.' - Patrick

Hello SOS friends. I hope you are ready to open your minds to a conversation that involves both art and travel. I have known Ms Debbie ever since I was like seven years old. She is so talented and as I watched her growing up I realized that people can learn something new everyday. They can be inspired and motivated to try new things. When people travel they collect things and nine time out of ten they are art related items. 

You can tell a lot about someone by the art they have around them.
