Seguramente alguna vez hayas sentido que todos son normales menos t£.

Odiaba el instituto, odiaba el color rosa, odiaba los motes, los insultos, las preguntas, la palabra lesbiana. Pero, por encima de todas las cosas, me odiaba a m¡ misma.

Hasta que explot‚. Y todo salt¢ por los aires.

Have you ever felt that everyone is normal except for you?

I grew up in ?vila convinced that I was the only lesbian in the city and that the Devil would surely come for me.

I felt alone, weird, stuck in a ?phase? that become permanent, in a closet with so many doors that I thought I?d never find my way out.

I hated school, the color pink, the nicknames, insults, questions, and the word lesbian. Most of all, I hated myself.

Until I exploded. And everything blew up.
