Dear T:

I'm starting to see myself as less of a freak, and an outsider. Still an outsider in the sense of seeing and doing things differently than many people do. Not surprising given my occupation and the values that go along with it. But now I am kind of grooving on my freakishness and maybe even like this in myself. Or at least accept it. No more am I going to apologize or degrade myself because of it.
