...I've seen myself that way for a long time. It's difficult not to, really.

I know that I don't experience things in the way that I should - in the way that most people do. I think my father knew it as well. Most of what he tried to teach me after I was adopted dealt with how to present as a good person anyway. It didn't matter if I was incapable. What mattered was that I continued to try, and if I acted like a good person then that was how others would perceive me.
