As the words escape her lips and sink into my head. I go into a state of panic, what do they want me to just up and go. Leave my life, my job behind; it’s almost unfathomable to me. My family, do I even get to say goodbye? Can I walk out of my life with a bunch of strangers? Is that possible?
Except for some reason unbeknown to myself, something I can’t explain… they aren’t strangers, I feel like I know them, instincts in me that I didn’t even realize existed tell me to trust them. I can sense the goodness and kindness radiating of them. It’s almost like a beacon calling to my soul. I have spent years feeling like I don’t belong anywhere. Some part of me felt incomplete.
Not even my parents could relate to me, I graduated from school at a really early age because my brain processed information far beyond by age. I guess I’ve always felt like a freak. Insecure of myself, but I have a connection to these people, to this family. Could this be where I belong? Could I find a home among them? My gut and heart are pleading with me to go with them, to see if I could fit among them, perhaps like a jig-saw puzzle I would be a perfect fit. Or is it just wishful thinking, I mean everyone wants to belong somewhere.
