I wasn’t popular in high school, total nerd here. Surprised you are I am sure (that sounded like Yoda). My choice was to be myself. Perhaps what was intended for me is to bloom late and accept who I am regardless of what others might think. I turned out OK. Married in a job that matters. Pretty good stuff. (The Big Bang Theory inspired this little post).

I was a total nerd…(hah…was)…but of course I owned it…I was proud of it. I was bullied incessantly, but I pitied them more than anything, their inability to accept their own independence from their friends. I actually had an old bully from high school message me (10 years later) randomly reach out on Facebook to apologize this past fall, and admit to being behind cruel pranks that he didn’t realize I would know he was behind. It didn’t phase me one way or the other, except to raise the bar of pity as he explained how much it drove him crazy that I could not be phased. He is going through a recovery process from addiction…thus the random message of making right of your past…he had it way worse than I, I knew that even then.
