Re: Becoming something else

You're not alone in this, and it's not stupid. I haven't experienced it personally, but my mother and her brothers did and the lesson they always gave us is to never, ever forget our roots, because we need to know where we came from to appreciate how far we've come.

It sucks to be an Other, because there will be people who will judge you for it. But the people that should matter to you are the ones who don't .

I can definitely appreciate that. If I didn't keep perspective about where I came from, I might not be so keen on climbing like a motherfucker. Or keeping what I otherwise might be away from the society I've moved into.

To some extent, I really don't give a fuck what they might think of me as a person; I've climbed too far, too long to be able to care what some asshole may think of me. I'm just worried that where I came from might color their perception of me in any way. Even their pity or sympathy would suck, because I don't want it. It's how I grew up, and I don't feel bad about it, it's just the way it is.

It's more of an internal struggle trying to learn how to accept who I am and what I'm becoming. The edges don't fit yet.
