The Black Sheep Usually Ends Up Building Their Own Field.

Every family has one.

The one who's a bit different.

The one who doesn't quite fit the mould.

For a long time...

I thought that was something to be embarrassed about.

I didn't follow the expected route.

I didn't finish school the way everyone had hoped, or as everybody else in the family did.

University wasn't my path.

Corporate wasn't my path.

Even now, building things most don't even know about and those who do, don't really understand.

For years I felt behind.

Now I realise...

I wasn't behind.

I was simply walking a road nobody else around me had taken.

Being different stopped feeling lonely the moment I realised different was actually my greatest advantage.
