I wasn't bullied. I didn’t have a learning disability. I wasn’t picked last. And even if all of that were true, it doesn’t matter anymore.
I have the type of background that can be exploited for this author page. But I won't. Beyond what happened to me, I want to stay focused on who I am, inherently. Who I am when I’m alone. When there are no distractions.
I'm a ponderer. I’m a tinkler. I’m an autodidact.
Maybe I'm slightly too obsessed with the meaning and purpose of everything. Maybe I’m too hardcore. Maybe I’m too optimistic.
But I like who I am. It took me years, but I enjoy Tracey Calvert-Joshua. She's a wild combination of sometimes conflicting interests.
But combinations are wonderful. And so am I.
This is who I am.
