It’s hard being the black sheep of the family… especially when you never had a family in the first place. I’m Rickie, and I’ve been through a lot. I’ve wandered a lot, and I’ve never felt like I fit in anywhere. Folks have always made fun of me. It’s always been, “Hey, Black Sheep! You’re weird!” or “What’s up with the pink thread?!” I’ve been called freak, and sometimes even Super Freak!! But they’re right when they say things get better. They really do. The SARF has helped me deal with my issues and I’m learning to embrace my uniqueness.
