I am by nature an innovator and niche creator.
Moving to a town that was 30 years regressed in social acceptance and openness to new ideas and inclusiveness was the most difficult thing for me.
Being stuck there with no way to escape was alarming.
It challenged and compressed my psychology, turned me inward too extremely – and nearly against myself – with all of the negative messaging I kept picking up on empathically.
The only allowance was that I was one of those who lived in deep poverty. Agencies accepted me as another person in need.
Appreciated, but yeck! I am meant for more.
There was no safe forum for my creative and nourishing expression to manifest externally.
But, because I am a positivist, I kept thinking the problem was me, and that somehow it was my fault that I kept “failing” to achieve.
Oh Lord-Up-In-Heaven, never-ever let me go through something like that, again!
