Unique- /yo͞oˈnēk/
Adjective. being the only one of its kind; unlike anything else.
Everyone is unique in their own way. Everyone has their own story. We're all different from one another, that's what makes life living for. To tell a story.
I was born something I'm not. I have been beaten up, kicked out, called names of the unspeakable but when I look back at that I laugh because I proved everyone wrong. I don't wish for anyone's pity, I just want to live my life for who I am.
I travel the country with my best friend, Jonas, sharing our music with our audience. Our fans. I sing, Jonas plays the drums, together we make a great team. Some call us a rip off of Twenty-one pilots but I don't play the ukulele or even sing like Tyler.
Through high school I was bullied for a number of reasons. Jonas was that one jock who was always there to fight off the bullies with me. He and I grew very close.
That was the point in my life where I was questioning who I was. I denied as much as I could but it was no use. I accepted myself for being transgender. My parents however did not. They disowned me. Jonas' family welcomed me into their home and treated me as one of their own. Jonas and I would stay up all night talking about what we wanted to do when we got out of this town. "We'll leave this small, hateful and poisoned town and go to LA, where we can make our dreams happen. We're not dreamers, we're doers. Together, we can be unstoppable." That's what Jonas told me, one New Year's Eve a few years back. He's passionate with words one the clock strikes passed 1 am. And we did leave that small, hateful, poisoned town, we did move to LA, we did become unstoppable.
