“The most important thing I’m learning is the vision that I can identify with the freedom I find on my travels, instead of worrying about explaining myself back home. That was quite a revelation! That’s not to say I’ve become antisocial, it just means I no longer blame my psychic abilities whenever I get lonely. You know, that part of my life that means the most to me – loneliness comes from me hiding or rejecting that part, in other words from trying to be normal… hey, at least on the surface! It offends that soul mate of mine very horribly, who then starts sulking, overthinking how we’re both ‘such aliens in this world’ and… well, point taken: it is normal people who are lonely inside. Gotcha!”
