Unconventional Love by J. Hart

When you’re young, there is always that one kid who doesn’t fit in: too fat, too poor, too quiet, too annoying… the list goes on and on.  
The thing is, that had been me. I’d been that kid. 

If life were a jigsaw puzzle, I didn’t fit. I’d sat in that box, a piece with angles that couldn’t match the others. Cocooned in the wrong life, I’d been like a butterfly waiting to emerge, waiting to take flight. At eighteen, I launched myself from the precipice of despair.  

Hope soared as I unfolded my wings. I became free, I could start a future of self-discovery. Finally, the time had arrived to find the right box for me to fit in.    
Where I am today and who I am I could never have imagined.

This is the story of how I’ve found an unconventional love, one I choose for eternity.
