Feeling Misunderstood

For as long as I can remember, I have felt misunderstood—by family, friends, ex-lovers, co-workers, and nearly everyone around me. I believe there have only been a few people in my life who truly understand me, and that’s okay.

I can be judgmental, often have my head in the clouds, and I have a touch of ADHD. I’m a visionary with an artistic mind, always thinking outside the box. While I might not have a clear vision of the end result, I know what the next step should be.

Does that make me odd, strange, or unlovable? If so, that’s someone else’s issue, not mine. I am who I want to be, and no one can change that. Why should I change for someone else? People can either accept me as I am or walk away.

Still, I occasionally question myself because I crave connection. It’s a fundamental part of being human to long for connection, but does that mean I should bend my own rules to please others? Absolutely not. As challenging as it can be to feel alone, I trust that the right friends, lovers, and supportive individuals will come into my life.

Trust the universe; she has your back.
