For the first time in my 44 years, I found a place, a people, where I belong. I BELONG! I FIT IN! OMG I’m ALWAYS the outcast, the lone wolf, the misfit. I’ve grown accustomed to it. I march to a different drum. But at ‘Camp’ Camp, EVERYONE does. We are all beautiful, loving misfits, and I was seen, truly seen, for the first time ever. You can go your whole life without ever finding that.
