From the moment the world brought me out: I was unusual.                                                         ­                                               

I started normal: The same routine as the others.

But when I turned the age of five, that’s  when life moulded me.  My hands were a flutter, always making moves  no person would want in a conversation. I spoke words that were directed at someone invisible.

People were aliens to me: I could not play or even talk with other children;  the corner of my mind was the world I understood.                 
Whole hours spent on a screen with no outside touch.                                                           ­                                             

When I didn't get everything, or forced to do what I saw new, my eyes became rivers.                                                          ­                        
A simple relative's departure made me cry a crocodile's tears.

Oh, how my mother tried to calm my 'extraordinary' traits, but no avail came.

The day came for the higher place of learning, and still I was the odd one out. I do something weird; the other students would make the stares of God's judgement.                                                 
For most of life's great plan, I was a ripple in the water. Other people were still a mystery, like a haunting in my brain.

Now: things are different. My companions are numerous, and my family loving, more than ever.                                                           
­God was patient, and the reward was that I can control my behaviour;  the spell that took over me  before.                                         

Life is a beauty.

Everyone is different; one individual is a stranger to another.   
Your emotions are different, the personality is unusual.             
Even what you like is a missing clue in the grand scheme.                                                          ­                                            

Me: I started out different. That's still the case to this day.

But now I am one of life's greatest examples of change.                     
I am what I am, always have been.                                                            ­                                              

Take it or leave it with you.
