Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.
I used to be the person who thought everything would improve only if I was thinner or other parts of my appearance was perfect. I used to be bullied for my short height and different features related to my ethnicity, I’m of Sámi and (more distantly) Arctic indigenous origins and my classmates were not. I’m also a psychiatric patient and in my youth I was undiagnosed, it was very difficult for me just getting through the nights.
But I want to say it’s not only dark, it’s also great inner strenght and self-awareness from these experiences in life. I’m here for a reason, and it’s a valid feeling to keep moving forward in spite of it being very difficult to feel like I truly belong.
Thank you for reading, listening and have a wonderful Friday ❤
