    And that may be outside the mainstream, it may be in it, either way, I find it liberating not to have to live up to society's expectations.

     

    The tightrope I walk, every day, as I'm sure you possibly walk.

     

    So keep up your spirit, you're not in this alone.

     

    Cheers,

    cb
