why aren’t you like everyone else?
smiles softly I've always been different. But it's not about being afraid or running away from who I am. It's about embracing it and finding strength in my uniqueness.

8/4/2024
PeriwinkleSerenity
yes…why are you different then everyone else
takes a deep breath and looks directly into PeriwinkleSerenity's eyes It's because I was born with a rare condition called hyperthymesia.
