Growing Up, It Was Me vs The World

Growing up, I was a bit of a loner. It wasn't that I didn't have friends or family—I did. I just felt like I was on my own in the world and that no one understood me. It's true—I've been on the receiving end of some pretty unfair treatment over the years.

I was always a little different. I didn't fit in with my classmates—they were into sports and playing outside and making friends, but I wasn't that interested in any of those things. I was too busy learning about nature and the universe, reading books about space and animals, and thinking about how the world could be a better place if we just tried harder to be good people to one another.

It's not hard to understand why: my parents were busy with their careers, so they weren't around much. Since I was good at school, everyone assumed that I could handle myself just fine; but really, what did they know? No one ever took time to explain things to me or encourage me along this path. They didn't understand how much I needed them or how much they could help me if they just took the time to explain things to me. But no one ever bothered to ask if I needed any help; instead, everyone just assumed that everyone knew what they were doing and didn't need any assistance.

It wasn't until college that I realized how much of a struggle it had been for me to get through my life without knowing what was going on around me. When I got into my classes at school, it was like someone had turned on the lights for the first time—I could finally see everything that had been in front of me all along.

As hard as it was to go through those experiences, they helped me grow into the person I am today: confident and strong enough to stand up for myself when something isn't right. In fact, there were times when being completely alone was exactly what I needed. When I was young, it gave me time to explore my creativity and find out who I really was without anyone else's influence or expectations getting in the way. And now that I'm older and more secure in myself, those times alone have given me confidence to stand up for myself when someone tries to hurt me or treat me poorly!

It's actually so much that if you don't have someone around to help you navigate through it all, you could spend your whole life missing out on some pretty amazing things just because they weren't visible from where you were standing!

In Conclusion

Growing up, it was me vs the world—and I won every time.

I'm not sure if it's because I was so confident in my abilities r if everyone else just let me have my way. But either way, I can't imagine a better way to grow up.

My point is this: no matter where you go or what you do in life, there will always be people who will try to bring you down because they're jealous of your successes or just want something from you! But no matter how hard those people try—and trust me, they WILL try—you must never let them get the best of you. You have to remember that every time someone brings you down, it's because they're afraid of something. They don't want to see YOU succeed for fear that YOU might make them look bad by comparison.

Now that I'm older and wiser, I can look back on those times with gratitude: it made me stronger than most people!
