But I can acclimate....make my surroundings and life/lifestyle conducive to calm and peace and health.....all of the things that the AV hates.
I am the strange gloxinia plant that pops up amongst the garden flowers, and no one knows what it is....my leaves grow bigger every year and suddenly, beautiful bell-shaped flowers appear.....so different from other flowers....so strong, so sturdy.....but if you prod them or don't treat them right, they fall off.
I am strong, but I am also fragile and I must protect that fragility.
I am different than most people I know, pretty much everyone really and that's OK. It's wonderful actually.....we all get our own unique experience.
We don't need to fit in with anyone....it's as Willow said....we can join with compassion and intellect and in whatever way we want whilst still remaining true to ourselves.

I think every one of us can relate somehow to your words. Feeling different from everyone, not fitting in. But we need to believe in ourselves and know our uniqueness is beautiful, and worthy, and we need to love and embrace our uniqueness fully in order to flourish and shine ❤️ and all the while know that even though we’re different, we’re ALL connected. We’re all in this crazy life together, and together, united with love, we’re stronger ❤️
Love to you all, you’re all amazing ❤️

Checking in for another 24 from a lovely sunrise in NQ Oz, it’s such a beautiful time of year here, I wish I knew how to share a picture of the sunrise.
Thanks Leigh ❤️
Love love loved your post Kenton, I could curl up on my couch with a cup of tea and biccies and read your words all day
Venuscat what a great idea to make a page of Kenton classics ❤️
Sweetpeacan sending you love and support in rehab, you’re really doing such an awesome thing for yourself
Have a wonderful sober day/night everyone ❤️

I think I misunderstood you first. I tried all my life to fit in, to be more compatible with others. I always felt so wrong and faulty. Like it was wrong to be me, like I was wrong by default. I didn't even like being really good or best at things cause it would cause me to be different. I just wanted to be the average. Just one of them.
It's a very new thing for me to be myself and I still find it difficult. Especially when doing so results in negative feedback.

Just checking in before going to bed for another 24.
I had a weird day today, I felt really down and exhausted. My room mate came back tonight and I feel stressed about that. First it made me feel uneasy when she went away for her holiday and now it makes me feel uneasy to have her back. I guess I often struggle with changes in my surroundings.
I'm trying as much as I can to stay in the moment and to also look to future optimistically. To not feel hopeless and sorry for myself but to look forward to being able to walk again soon. And to be able to work out and to be outside, going for walks. It will be so nice.
My mum told me today that she's impressed by how I can be so strong, how I am such a fighter. And that she doesn't understand where I take all the patience and strength from. That was nice of her to say.
Good night everyone and much love!
