My loneliest journey
Laying beneath the large oak with my back towards everyone else in
the park, so they couldn't see the tears tumbling from my eyes, I
felt more alone than I had ever been.
Most of the people I'd considered friends had abandoned me, my own
family had disowned me and the few friends I did have left weren't
sure how to behave around me, although I had begged them to treat me
as they always had, even though I knew that was going to be virtually
impossible for them because, after all, it's not every day your
lifelong friend begins the transition from male to female.

Love that unexpected ending!
Beautiful use of this photo, Jules. Painful truth, even more painful is the abandonment, loneliness and heartbreaking statistics. Bravo, Julez...! xo
The sadness lies with other people's inability to accept a person who is slightly different to themself. Their sadness often turns to anger and bullying.
I really feel for her and hope she can dry her eye's and realize it is their problem, not hers.
wel stated, emotional, nicely written.... hugs T
Thought provoking. I really love how this one makes you think.
Beautifully written, powerful and full of emotion. I hope she finds someone to be with and friends that will accept her for her. Great flash!
