I was very different as a kid and worried about what people might think. Here's how I broke free of that.

I was very different than almost every other boy I knew, growing up. I was used to being and outsider. They were actually pretty nice to me, but I worried about fitting in and what they might say or think about me. So, I basically let them define me and what I did and who I was. When I was about 14, I came to a turning point and I remember it very clearly: a specific phrase came to my mind and served as a key that sort of unlocked an internal, mental gate, so to speak. Since then, I've been free and able to make my own cohices and be myself without reference to what other people may )or may not) think about me. This is a a huge step to being self-actualized and happy in life, and I do so want you to be happy! Sending you all my love, Your #InternetGrandpa #fyp This is a public episode.
