I once told my ex that he was poison -- not enough to kill me but just enough to make me really sick. Your post resonates with me in so many ways too. I never fit in with the "soccer moms" I just couldn't bring myself to be plastic for the sake of fitting in -- something that I've never done even as a child. My kids got a full shot of my quirks but hey, if they couldn't survive me then the world would eat them up! And now that my boys are older, I love how quirky and smart they are. No one else lives in our skin so no one else is allowed to judge what we do to make us happy in that skin. HUGS

I tell my children to be themselves as much as possible too - only 4 & 6 so far, but I hope I can teach them the important stuff.
I am same as you, even as a child I didn't fit in anywhere. You have to embrace you, not always the easiest thing to do, but when you are happy in your shoes, the rest falls into place.
