"I'm fundamentally different in a way that makes real connection impossible."
How it sounds in your head: There's something about you that doesn't quite fit anywhere. You've tried different groups, different versions of yourself, but there's this core thing—maybe it's how your brain works, what you've been through, what you actually think—that makes you alien.

The way I'm wired isn't wrong; it's INTENTIONAL. I am a branch on the Vine, and the fruit I produce is exactly what He designed, not what others expected.
The Father didn't look at you and think, 'Oops, this one's too different.' He said, 'Perfect—exactly what I wanted.' He's not trying to sand down your edges to make you fit; He's bringing you to spaces that were built for exactly your shape.
