Only 2 years ago, i had come to the
conclusion that all of humanity wanted nothing to do with me.
i was 16 then; naive and wanting to feel accepted by others.
i had problems with people. i was shallow and unwilling to
let anyone into my life. Maybe i pushed people away for
reasons i didnt even know about.

I didnt go to school like 'normal' kids did.
'Normal'; that one word. Once you think about it, you
kind of realize its true meaning- You think of the
usual, typical, or expected, but sadly i was anything far
from 'normal' and people knew it. I
Have Heterochromia; you
know, that disease where your eyes are different colours?
growing up i was teased about it, almost to the point of
devere depression. My right eye is the color that both of my
eyes are supposed to be- Blue. the deepest blue that
is humanly possible to eye colors. i always loved my right
eye, with its flecks of grey surrounding my abnormaly large
pupil. As for my left eye, well thats a different story. Its
brown. not the warm and intriguing brown that people rant
about, or the brown that made Van Morrison write his song
'brown eyed girl'. Mine was dark, almost
black. it wasnt spherical like everyone elses pigmented
iris... it was almost square, my vision was blurred in that
eye. it created a dark halo around everything i saw, similar
to the way i veiwed life.

Ever since, i truly believe i am 'different', and i
have yet to find someone who can relate to me... that is,
until i met him.
