…It makes no sense to try, or even to want, to fit into a place where you don’t belong. …It’s not going to happen, and if it ever did, it’s not what you would want anyway. …It’s a delusion. The trick is to take something that’s painful, and to make it so trivial that it’s inconsequential. Just walk away and make it trivial. My advice to geeks? If you don’t like it, leave, leave fast, make it trivial. Come to terms with who you are.
