The Road Less Traveled

Sometimes my life feels so far from conventional I worry I border on the side of delusion. But I know the only reason it feels delusional is because it's not the norm and when you don't experience something often it feels like a unicorn.

When I was a kid, thats exactly what I wanted to be

at some point the idea of being different started to make my bones ache so I ripped off my horn to look like a horse but I never really learned how to nay.

I think everyone knew. I think I did too. but I was afraid if I decided to be the real me everyone would think I was a liar.

isn't that ironic?

I pretended for so long I all but forgot I was pretending except for the way I felt so tired all the time.

being yourself isn't tiring. but there were other things to blame it on so I did.

when I was in my mid 20's I realized I could grow my horn back if I wanted all I had to do was reclaim my right to the road less traveled by traveling it as the most unique expression of myself no matter how different it makes me feel....

I read somewhere it would make all the difference if I did

and it has.
