It is HARD to be different... all my life I have been a person that stands out where ever I go... I am different because I am an orphan who doesn't know the first 3 yrs of my life... I am different because I grew up in a place where I was noticed because of my skin color... I am different because I don't have the same parents as my siblings... I am different because I don't feel like I belong anywhere... I am different because I am hurting and you can't see it... I am different because I want to heal from these intense wounds... I am different because I see the world differently than you do... I am different because I don't know what my parents look like... I am different because I ache to know who my birth parents are... I am different because I don't know my birth date... I am different because I don't know my birth story... I am different because I feel so confident when I am around other international adoptees... I am different because I am moving forward while holding the past gently in my hands so I may help you who is trying too move forward... I am different because I love India but I only know you as a dream and desire...
I am different because I crave being with other people who look like me and I can get lost in the sea of colors... I am different because I am loyal... I am different because I am a lesbian... I am different because I am androgynous... I am different because I don't feel any human is better than another human...
I am different because I am into wearing a mustache and a tie... I am different because I always understood who I was, even when others didn't believe me... I am different because I obeyed too well... I am different because I bike everywhere... I am different because I have lived a different life than you... I may be different, but you know what? I sure like you!
