new me

 The last few weeks im noticing more and more how much more I am discovering that im not as different as everyone else and I don't stand out as much I thought I was. I know im most definatly not your average "joe" but I really like being different. for the longest time I stayed away from talking about myself being unwell and I avoided making friends because I didn't know how to come out and say that im unwell. its hard to explain why I cannot just go to the mall and walk around for hours. I still find making friends hard and awkward, I have to try harder to find things that people my age can relate to but im finding that trying is worth it. I have been going to a youth group for a while now and I can happily say that I finally feel like im doing something right. the kids that go to this youth group are awesome ! they all know about my situation and they have been so supportive and their bright positive moods help me so much when I have had a rough week. I guess my advice today is that stepping out of your comfort zone and trying with an open mind can really be a positive thing you can look back on and be proud of yourself for doing so.
bless you all
