While I am curious why I am this way, I no longer "question" it, in the sense that it's something wrong. I think one of the watershed moments of my life was when I embraced who I am (in this context) and was (am) thankful for it. If there were a magic pill to restore us to full vanilla-ness, I would avoid it like the plague, and have the antidote always handy and within arms reach.
That self-acceptance can be a long time coming, but I think it's important to reach it. I think that one of the blessings of the younger generation is that they will never have to pass through what those before them did, largely due to the universal communication of the Internet bringing the community together. Knowing that others are out there and just like us is an incredibly cleansing experience.
