Frustrations

I’ve known for a long time that I was the black sheep of my family. I don’t really like referring to myself as the black sheep…..in my experience it carries a negative connotation with it. Nevertheless, I can’t see any really good way of explaining my role in my family. Black sheep fits

just a few thoughts..
- "black sheep" - this would mean the one that stands out, choosing to be a leader rather than a follower. Lucky for you.
- Being that you are soo different from them and their "comfort zone" attitude, is that really such a bad thing?
- If they tell you that you are strange, remember to smile and say "yes" (always keep them guessing)
I was reminded of the quote about being "normal" - take all the people you know, and look at the ones that you would consider "normal". Would you really like to be like them?
- remember the song: "you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself"
Hope you work things out, count on your frinds that have a better understanding of you, and accept those who do not for what they are.
