The Rainbow Renegade

A maven, Joan of Ark, supporting her cause and distancing oneself from whims that do not fit the persona, stereotype of her group. Oneself cannot risk being caught adhering to societal norms they have shunned. As beings on two legs we are incapable of treating others how we feel about them. We only have the ability to treat them how we feel about ourselves. What exists in one side of the field versus what is in the other field just barely visible on the horizon can only be fathomed from the eyes of someone else. Introducing the idea of re-entering into a norm that has been left behind will immediately be shot down. As the realization sets in that the field they are in is eerily similar to the field that they left. Slowly but surely the yard just over the mountain begins to look much more appealing. If the treatment, disappointment, and risk of embarrassment are the same, what keeps someone standing in place when walking away is the better option? The answer sits in the maintenance of a perception and the reassurance the Renegade brings to the group.

After being disappointed or feeling betrayed by this conglomerate, oneself pushes away from them so vigorously that they end up pushing to a spot that mirrors the one we stepped away from. We find comfort sitting on a thorn, after being poked by a needle.

No matter the interaction or personnel, the roller coaster of emotion is unchanging. Interest must be countered with disappointment or despondence. Under every moment of enjoyment, dreas or distance must be felt. The sting of rejection lingers like a slow burn whilst closeness surely losses the swetness. Rejection garners high-regard and softness invites mis-treatment. The delicacy of interaction hinges more on the devastion rather than colliding with expectations; which most assuredly pushes expectation well-beyond the reach of any creature on two legs. There must be lag-time within the cupacke. When enjoying the "peaks" of be prepared to return to the valley and not get lost in the false comfort of embrace. Habits, Hobbies, Career, Friends, & Family act as a safeguard as the descent from ecstasy inevitably occurs. Performance depends heavily on completing the proper layover. During this point any advances must be rejected. Any face-to-face has to happen on neutral; non-private grounds.

Rejection does not denote weakness but a show of strength and the demands of self-respect, and most importantly trusting in the natural order of time.
