Dear misfit
I want you to know that you are genius
But you've been institutionalized to believe otherwise
Because of society's natural propensity to villainize people that are different
And so you are labeled socially awkward and weird
Rejected and misunderstood sometimes even by those closest to you
But you mustn't let this change you
In fact, let it motivate you to flourish into the best version of you that you can be
Because you, dear misfit, are genius!
