We so love difference – AND mavericks like LaFang!

In the first years of school, I would fight bullies who picked on the weak, the poor, the different. It wasn’t until years later I realized I was fighting because I felt so very different. I’m still not sure where all that early agression came from. Still do feel quite different from most, but I’m ok with that now. And haven’t been in a fight for decades! Not ladylike, you know?!

Another great bit of writing Madge.

Sometimes the smallest realization creates a mountainous shift in pattern breaking. Thanks Lonestar for this feedback.

Today I learned that feeling empathy for someone and taking on/feeling someone else’s pain and shame are not the same thing.

This is something I do a lo of- I used to befriend the Mary;s of this world at school, and felt their intense sadness (maybe they weren’t sad- but I was).

Thank you.
