I'm not like you.

My brain is hard-wired differently, too.

I get emotional when I'm depressed.

Suicidal if I'm overstressed.

Fuck, I remember one time, going TKO

during my Philosophy midterm test.

Yeah, I'm different from the rest.

But I'm ok with that.

Ok with being a little bit skinny, or a tiny bit fat and if I don't like how I'm being

treated I don't need to pretend like I'm ok with that.

I don't need to be perfect.

I don't need to be the perfect daughter or friend

or wife.

It's perfectly ok to live my own life.
