The jokes about where you might have come from run rampant.

Watching movies like Cinderella was probably entirely too relatable.

You wondered when your letter for Hogwarts was coming while your siblings spent all their time playing sports.

The truth is, you were just fine… but your family didnt get you.

Not even a little bit, not even at all.

So, here you are, breaking out into the real world and embracing all of its radiance.

Another tactical method you employed with your parents was to keep things vague.

White lies, beating around the bush, and one-liners all served as trick up your sleeve.

Everyone else, though?

You searched high and low for your tribe, for somewhere to belong.

With your friends now, you talk to them nearly every day.

They call you things like fiercely loyal, protective, and incredibly thoughtful.

Thats great for them… just not for you.

What that means now is that you easily become married to your work.

Moving Away From Home

Whats the best way to escape from a world who doesnt understand you?

Run as far away as you’ve got the option to.

When you dont feel connected to your roots, its really easy to pick up and leave.

If these rang true to you even just a bit, know that you are not alone.

Hopefully, though, youve found your stride and your tribe and are thriving on your own two feet.
