I had a flashback of junior high while I was reading this; our eighth grade teacher made us do collages to answer the question, "Who Am I?" Mine was split into threes, and it looked totally unlike anything my other classmates did. I got teased a lot for that collage. Cut to ten years later, where I did the same collage for a college prayer group meeting. This time, I got comments like, "Wow, that's really creative!"
The point is, when you find others who are traveling the same road of self discovery (and it takes the maturity to not rip into someone who's doing something different from yourself), you find peace. I love reading about your adventures, because it makes me feel a connection with you. And it makes me wish I'd known you in junior high ;)
