Self-acceptance is a trope of great importance. As time elapses, I’m becoming increasingly aware that I belong to “minorities” in a goodly number of facets of everyday life. Surely I can integrate into various communities on different occasions, but deep inside I’m very perspicuous about the sense of insulation, or isolation, lingering in the air. That said, it’s bullishness and aplomb rather than company that make me who I am.
