Having a unique mind has never caused any shame. Since I was little I've had to exert myself extra hard, mentally and physically to at least give the impression that I'm conforming to structure. There are many people on the autistic spectrum that feel the same. Personally I've never understood certain aspects of society. However to be understood and stay proficient, to fit in, to have any interaction with anyone or anything I care about, I must exert great effort. Aspiring to accomplish this, is to have compassion that amplifies my feelings to a degree that surpasses what ls expected of others. Acting became a way to quench this yearning to think about others perspectives. Acting is also a way to stay busy, because I like the world to spin as I try to keep up. Besides acting, I love nature and ways to challenge myself physically and mentally. Immersing in different ways of educating and enriching myself is a preferred way to be.
