Hi RedEmbers
I am an early one, both me and my other half. It was tough for us growing up. We had to fight to be heard, to be seen. In the end we stopped saying anything and just hid in each other's company. We were different to everyone else we got that and I reckon if we'd been born later we'd have been diagnosed with autism or something. I have dyslexia and discalculia and sometimes I just think that the world is too loud.
Too be honest we did not know about these labels and we took different paths as we got older. For me I never fit in I just find everyone inauthentic and the world tough to deal with. He found a niche and loved it. Yet we are both inward adults that shine only because we have one another to rely on.
Being different led us both to drink and stuff when we were in our teens. I know I'm an Indi...he doesn't. Not that it matters, the labels are just there so we understand, being different can be tremendously challenging.
Now we're are working to be strong on who we are
