The thing they teased you for in middle school might end up being your signature.

What got singled out about you was usually just the part that did not match the room. Twelve year olds sort each other fast and punish anything unfamiliar, which says more about the sorting than about you. The laugh, the height, the accent, the obsession nobody else had are the same traits that later make a voice recognizable. None of it was your fault and none of it needs fixing.

Name one thing you learned to hide back then. See what happens if you let it show in something you make this week, even if only one person sees it.
