I've been doing a lot of thinking recently. It's not something I like to do too often and I'm blaming Jono for this round of thinking.
1). I don't want to be scared. I don't want to run scared for my entire life. That's not a life, that's an existance.
2). I don't want to be like Sarah either. She's cool, she's nice, but she's hard. And not in a boney way either. I don't know how to not to be like her though if I take a stand.
3). how can we supposedly be working for peaceful co-existance when we hide in the school? I don't want to hide, it won't help anything and I'm sure it will hurt being purple in public (PIP ;) but I don't want to spend the rest of my life like a hermit.
I don't have answers, I just know that I can't live like this. I want to have a life, I want to be NORMAL. and that will never happen.
if I can't be normal in the non-mutant sense, then I think I should stop hiding.

Maybe it is different because I don't have a physical change, but we have _never_ been cloistered here, or told to not 'be' mutants outside the school, just not to start trouble.

Date: 2004-02-03 03:35 pm (UTC)From:But until they perfect the full-body dyejob, you'll never be normal. You don't want to hide anymore? That's fine, but there's some folks around who can describe in painful levels of detail what happens when you decide to stop hiding.
If you really want to face the fear, to conquer it, then come and see me sometime. We'll talk about it.

Maybe I'll stop by soon.

Date: 2004-02-03 07:48 pm (UTC)From:I was expelled from school for being a mutant. I was locked in my house for nearly 3 months before I came to Xaviers. Hell, I was expecting everyone to hate me here. You didn't.
Even before I was expelled or locked away, I was changing colors and had to be careful. I could claim my hair was a dyed, I could wear makeup and longsleeves and try to pass. And sometimes I didn't.
I have to get permission to use an image inducer any time I want to go out. While that means I get to use one, it also means if I can't get one when I need it, I can't go, and that's not right.

I am sure that other people have personal ones.

You fence, do you not?
Date: 2004-02-04 08:01 am (UTC)From:As soon as my rebellious body decides to accomplish my will, then I will cross a blade with you.
Perhaps we'll even wager on the outcomes, to keep things ... sporting?
