The one who goes against the grain does not do so without their own fair share of sacrifice. Exclusion becomes their default experience across all facets of society because they refuse to compromise their integrity to blend in with spirits who exude inauthenticity. They are repelled by surface-level interactions and facades of social performers. They see the bullshit clearly, and they are just as quick to call it out. They are labeled as pariahs, only because they choose what is right over what is popular. The outcasts do not bend their morals to appease, and they take solace in not following the crowd, mostly encountering loneliness and the sting of being misunderstood on their journey. However, a state of peace is eventually reached once accepting they are different for justified reasons, and they don't belong with those they want to be nothing like. Pt1
