I was picked on and shunned by my little cloistered group of peers as a child.
I think we were all picked on in some way. Unless one is a jock, there's no escaping that. And even they bully one another.
That's what I hate about the corporate world: its just bullying dressed up as business/professionalism. Any of the perceived hierarchy that exists in corporate - even the title 'boss' - is the little guy being fucked by the big guy.
You go through the rest of your life like a mangy abandoned puppy desperate for the slightest hint of real affection.
That doesn't have to be where you end up, though. Work to actively drive the destiny of your story. If we hung out and anyone gave you shit, I'd be glad to smack they kufi off.
It may appear as if all I'm offering is lip service, but I
mean what I say.
I don't know what its like to be gay. I really don't. It must be hard out there. But I know what its like to be a pariah. I've become comfortable in that role.
I just think, that if we leave said issues unchecked, we truly are crafting the very bars of our future psychological jails.
