This is brilliant, I really relate to your journey, despite being older and living in a different country, the ideological shifts are the same, as are the experiences that have come with it. Thanks for articulating it so well.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate you reading and it's great to connect with other people on this path. Especially since it tends to be a lonely one at times, it's energizing to realize the process of becoming yourself isn't as lonely as it seems.
This is good of yesterday continuing today and needs to happen in every circulations of cycles to keep the social documents updating groups. We must not let procrastinate follow us.
Great and concise piece. This is the most part of me has felt understood in a while.
It points out for me the comical irony & tradegy when both sides turn against not only the black sheep but those whose views are simply 'off-white'.
To me, it's been really hard following my innermost feelings and conscience(let alone hear them!) but have come to understand that most people's egos and livelihood can't afford either but it becomes easy once we realize it's hardwired in our souls & self-sustainable to do so.
I try to find solace in that the soul will always grow bored of sameness and it's within our nature to constantly veer towards diversity and nuance of views, no matter how hard some fight against it sometimes.
Thank you for reading and sharing your perspective! I resonate with your experience too. It's taken me a while to accept this role as the odd-one-out, but like you said, it's a process of learning to find solace in ourselves and let go of the desire to get approval from others. My hope is that as we embody this practice, others see it and start to develop a little more curiosity and openness themselves.
Hahah, the classic black sheep! Some of us really have a genuine instinct to always look in exactly the opposite direction the group is looking in. It might make me less popular, but that instinct has served me well in every regard I actually care about.

Agree with RH! The dragon slayer becomes the dragon… a loud, victimized dragon.
