You Need to Know...
I'm not like you. My brain is hard-wired differently, too. I get emotional when I'm depressed. Suicidal if I'm overstressed.

Yes I Am a Snowflake
Yes I am a snowflake Not because a generation thinks I'm coddled. The same generation that taught me I was an individual with my own special traits. The same generation that bribed me with participation trophies and stickers for doing what I was supposed to do. That's not why I'm a snowflake.
