Carrie, I loved what you said here! I'm delighted you treat yourself as unique and understand what you want and don't want. Your sense of self awareness and self love is admirable, my friend. Sadly many of us spend a lot of our valuable energy trying to fit in, to be liked by others, to be a member of groups, and sometimes we even give up our own identity to feel a sense of belonging. In the majority of these circumstances, we frequently overlook a vital part of being ‘special.’ :)
