I was born. I became aware of myself. I became aware of my surroundings and that I was different. I absorbed many influences, good and bad. I grew taller, then stopped. My weight settled inside my skin, thankfully my bones were strong enough. I remained uncomfortable behind my strangely coloured eyes. I adapted and conformed, eventually. Or did I?
I have recently found a new path which at last is turning, slowly, the tide of confusion and anxiety that has dogged my every footstep. It is only now that I look back at them that I realise what I am and where I have come from.
