"You'll learn from them - if you want to. Just as someday, someone will learn something from you. It's a beautiful, reciprocal arrangement. And it isn't education. It's history. It's poetry." ~As said by Mr. Antolini, Catcher in the Rye, JD Salinger


I remember the day you came to me
“I need to tell you a secret, but you can’t tell anyone.”
You knew me well, I’d never tell, and so you revealed everything

I want you to know it’s okay to be different
Wanna hear a secret?
I’m different too.

I told you then, my thoughts, my fears
A word, an identity, confusion
And you said something to me then, I’d never soon forget

“I want you to know it’s okay to be different
Wanna hear a secret?
I’m different too.

We laughed, we talked, we reflected
Giddy in our revelation
Both of us were different – together.

I was going through a really confusing time. A friend confided an equally confusing secret to me, and in the end we were able to figure ourselves out together.
