I was a pretty self satisfied kid. I’d get back from school, pull my toys and instruments out from my private cupboard, and build a nest of creativity. Now, those times weren't about “getting through the day” or “looking forward to the weekend”. It was just a world of wonder, music and sound, discovery and daydreaming all of which I believed to be more real than what was happening around me.
Really beautiful essay Abhishek. I was brought back to my own childhood trying to figure out what to say and what not to say to avoid the harassment of people I thought were my friends. I was a kid on the outside for all my life, and it's only been this year that I've found out how much I traded off. Thank you for sharing

Thanks for reading Latham! I've been through a similar journey this year too.
