So, it's time to stand up on something. I'm at a convergence. I've been building tools and skills and now is the time to leap off into the wild.
Here's the facts:
-Every human brain is literally wired differently.
-Many of us hide our differences to fit in.
-For some of us, that is literally painful.
We are divergent.
This may mean neurodivergent. But it may also mean trauma survivors, mentally ill, and many other "types". Some of us have dissbilities, related to the divergence or unrelated. But they are not the same thing. Many of us have literal super powers in enhanced perception, cognitive ability, physicsl senses.
Sounds cool right? Yeah, not at all. It means living in a world that usually doesn't believe you and definitely doesn't accommodate you. We mask, we shut up, we suffer for the sake of safety and peace and some sort of artificial sense of behrudged belonging. In short, it completely sucks.
But I'm ready now. Call me Professor X. I'm claiming our space to exist, to be seen ad heard. We are not just divergent, we are The Divergent. And I'm calling you to join me. I know you've been conditioned to hide, convinced you are less, that you are broken in some way. But it was those attitudes that broke you.
You are seen. You are meant to be.
Truth is, I'm not even the first to come up with this. It's been breaking through all over at different points in history and location.
Stand up with me. Claim your identity. It won't be easy. We have to identify and unlearn the negating portions of our identities. But we can do that together. I'm starting a program called RIS. Resilient-Integrated-Sustainable. This is a living toolkit to help us. Watch for it soon. This is how we RISe.
