Freedom to Express Your True Self is not Necessary, it’s a MUST

For as long as I can remember, I think that I have isolated myself from society in one way or another. Back in my early school years — middle school — when I a little menace involved with the groups of “cool” kids that made fun of “fat kids” and picking on “nerds” and intentionally [...]
