@origamicat: to young people who think they don’t have someone who understands them. Even if you are a miracle oddball that only 1 in 10,000 people can understand, there are more than 10,000 people in Japan alone who understand you. I, too, was treated like a freak and had no place to belong, but at the international science conventions, I met a bunch of weirdos who found me interesting. Don’t ask those in front of you to understand. [Tell the world and make friends who understand.
