Growing up, Rebecca Martin used to think of herself as the strangest person in the world.
She was inspired by renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (and her famous unibrow) and wrote a beautiful quote about feeling out of place:
“I used to think I was the strangest person in the world, but then I thought, there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too.
Well, I hope that if you are out there you read this and know that yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you.”
Eventually, awesome illustrator Zen Pencils brought Martin's words to life with this delightful comic on feeling like you don't fit in:
