Written like a page out of my own life story, avedadaise.  I too have recently accepted my status as "rouge child" and "lone wolf" in my family and circle of friends.  You, like many of us here, have chosen a difficult journey; but one from which I hope you reap great reward.  Recently, I too have felt disjointed from most people, "untimely" you might say   I find their conversation void of true meaning, their pursuits empty of real substance.  But then I found the Nexus, a home for me as well. A place where stimulating and provoking conversations abound.  You are lucky to be among an excellent, creative, supportive community who have had many similar experiences.

Welcome, and best of luck on your journey.  I look forward to following your posts!
