Vee’s Inspiration June 18, 2025

Growing up,  I had every insecurity one might imagine.  I was funny looking, so in my mind ugly.  I did not have all the material things I saw around me, so in my mind we were poor. I was not book smart, so in my mind I was dumb. I was usually the shortest, so in my mind I was insignificant.  Things that interest everyone else did not interest me, so in my mind, I was weird and different.  

I felt like an outsider, one who does not belong, one who is looked at slightly differently.  

 I know that is where my strength was born.  My twin also found his role as the protector of his more vulnerable self.  Hence the many violent encounters I had growing up.  People don't believe me when I tell them I fought multiple times every week for years.  That was my twin protecting its scared vulnerable self.  

As I've grown, that vulnerable side has matured and has a better self-perspective.  I'm not the most attractive guy out here, but I'm not the ugliest.  I don't have all the glitz and glam, but I have what I need to be happy.  I'm not the smartest book guy in the room and don't have all the degrees that others have, but my mind naturally simplifies things quickly and I understand people and their tendencies.  I'm usually still the shortest in most settings, but I understand the impact my presence has in any room I enter.  The things that interest others have become things I am curious about.  My curiosity has made me more interested and less of an outsider.

My twin has evolved from the quick-tempered protector to my silent companion when I need to be alone or when it feels like the world is against me.  I always have my twin as my silent shield.  

I share some of my insecurities in hopes of helping give some perspective to others who are dealing with their own “stuff” 

I hope it helped…
