Your story is pretty cool billiam, it’s relatable as well! I was semi weird semi normal at that age (now I’m just a bit more weird than normal 😅) but I thankfully wasn’t teased openly about it. But I often exclaimed that being weird is okay and that’s what I am and people actually seemed to respect that I was somewhat self aware because everyone knew but no one would say. Being open about stuff like that has made it to where i could be friends with anyone, jocks, nerds, didn’t matter and even the popular women. But after unintentionally being accepted by all. The kids that were already my friends ( a few nerds like myself) ended up being almost all my friends exiting high school. I’m glad I found those nerds.
I really enjoyed reading this. The writing style really suits you. Not sure why I say that but if felt different than your previous writings. Maybe because it was something really personal. Would love to see more like this. And it’s crazy how just a few words can stick with us into adulthood and make such an impact. I know things were said to me as a kid that to this day I still remember the exact words and scene like it was a movie in my head! Great story.
Totally relatable, and I'm thankful to have had a few experiences like that, they have stuck with me. Wishing you all the best with everything you're doing.
A small act of kindness

Really cool story. It’s wild how the little things can have such an impact.
What a great way to begin my day!
