I am different than my friends and realtives in my small community.they all took 9-5 jobs, got married and had babies.i went to uni and done creative wriying.took a job in publishing.didn’t like it, i split with my guy and am now back home,unemployed but doing freelance writing. my family think i am mad-when i am quite smart. they either snub me or talk to me in a way that spells ‘poor sick little girl’ at social gatherings.it hurts me just coz i am different from them.and they won’t look at my point of view.why is this??
