Anger, pain, betrayal. Am I really here, again?

Hello folks.

Perhaps something’s have been happening to you or your friends that have forced you to look at the world a bit differently than you used to. Maybe a ghost sprung out of your ceiling and sat down to have a nice cup of tea with you or maybe you’ve just learned that you are an outsider.

Now here is where I need to clear some air that has built up around this issue. Pack members are not a part of the "in crowd". It isn’t like high school, you can’t dress the right way, wear the right make up, or drink the right liquor to get in. You’re born with it. It’s like your ethnicity, you can’t take it off or change it; it is in your genetics. Now when a pack member calls you an outsider; don’t take offence, you are one. This is our name for you and if you don’t like it then don’t speak with us.

You have always been an outsider, just like we have always been pack.

We aren’t saying that we are better than you; we are only saying that we are different. All I mean to do by writing this is to ask that because you don’t understand us and because we don’t understand you, don’t make remarks about things you don’t understand. We have rules and hierarchy that we live by, so do you. We just speak a different language and our rules aren’t the same.

Please quit acting like you understand everything because you don’t, and we have never claimed to know all. We have never chased you from your friends or ridiculed your beliefs. We have never told you that you were wrong. Even when we thought your ideas would get us killed we stayed and helped as best we could. We have never and will never ever believe you to be less than us. We are equals and we have always said it as such.

We are not better than you. You are not better than us. We are just not the same. And that’s alright; if everyone was exactly the same then we would all be terribly bored and hate everything about life. Being different is not a crime. It’s what makes us who we are. Don’t persecute us for being who we are, because we have never done that to you.

We only want everyone to get along. So you do your thing and we’ll do ours, and if we clash in the middle then we will deal with it when the time comes.

Until then, please just leave us alone.
