I think this was written for me! What a wonderful way to remember why I feel so out of place, a square peg in a round hole, in nearly every area of my life. Thank you for reminding me what is true! 💖

I love this SO much - what a word for the self doubters and self haters -

"We all, like volumes

Lie on our sides

Where we shouldn’t be.

We cannot find

The gap where we fit—"

I love the metaphor! And especially these lines:

"We all, like volumes

Lie on our sides

Where we shouldn’t be."

This was truly delightful, Randy! Thank you for braiding this tether between experience and wisdom, and for offering it in your own voice.
