I know this feeling. This feeling was me growing up. I kept on waiting for the opportunity to be myself. The opportunity never came. At least not with the people who were around me at the time.

It gets better though. You will find your tribe. But at this moment, this group of people is your tribe. For now, just take Me, and Justin, and Marcus, and Lucas, Srini, and Sofia, and afnan, and akhila: take the people in the comment section of this article, and believe them to be your tribe.

For you shared your pain and we heard you. We see you, Riddhi, and you matter. Your pain matters. It gets better.
