This is great. To hear from someone 'I missed you'. It makes my day. *grins*
People generally don't believe anything they don't have direct experience with. Or, don't dare to differ, that's even worse. It's like, conform or shut up, and if you don't, it's problems... I just guess people that avoid 'normal' as much as possible were always in some form around, are around, will be around. Society may get used to it... Some people just remain being pricks, that's all. You can walk away from them, one day, if not now. That's kind of hope for the future, even if it doesn't sound like a hope. One day, it ends and you're free. Just wait. It scars one every moment they stay, but in the end, the hero is the one who survived it, no matter the scars.
Forever love, forever dream.
Aim for the future, or the past will eat you up alive and think you are very yummy.
