Running from Myself

All my life I've been running from my capabilities. I grew up with Ausperger's syndrome in a time before anyone knew what it was. As a result I was always considered "odd." My older brother and sister were far more normal than I was, and thus fit in with the other kids. This is something I wanted very much. So I learned to pretend I was normal. That I wasn't intelligent. Eventually I even became afraid of showing others up.

This is the year of the epiphany. I realize that I much do what I was always meant to do. I was meant to work on computers. Fix, optimize, repair, build, teach, and whatever else I might come across. So I'm going back to work in computers. I've got a temp job in customer service which is the foot in the door for getting back into IT. Plus I've gotten my business licences and tax numbers for my own business. Now that we don't have CompUSA anymore. The town needs a good place to take computers for repairs.
