I am not the most conforming person at around.  Actually, I try my hardest to be as unique as possible.  To be different in every way, even in ways people are not expected to be different.  I am proud of it.
That is...until my class goes on retreat.  I feel totally alone, even with people who are my best friends.  They all have something in common, the rest of my class: crappy families, slew of dead close ones, extreme attractions to their pets.
I only have my hate complex to worry about.  I am never open about it.  Unless someone figures it out.  Like Scott did.  He has helped me lessen it a lot.  I doubt he reads this blog at all, but I want to thank him for it, since I would be in a vicious cycle of never truly accepting myself among other people or with myself.  You know that song "My Own Worst Enemy"?  Sure, it is about a break up, but I felt like that almost every day.
Until yesterday where I finally, publicly asked for forgiveness for it.  And I think it worked.  I have not had a negative thought about myself since last night.
