It is time to go.
Time to face the stupid people that fill this world. The people who call me a freak. A weirdo. Even a fairy, which is the most idiotic of them all. I have felt the lust of the loins, and most definitely not for another man.
They judge me just because I want to be a herbologist. It is a woman's job they all say. One done by the supposed `White Witches.' My family keeps pushing me to become a doctor if I want to help the sick. They argue that it is a much more reasonable profession.
Are they Crazy? The doctors are no smarter then trained chimpanzees. Doctors come to us for their medicine! Then hand them out without question or thought.
We are the ones gifted with the understanding behind earth's bounty, and yet we are the ones criticized.
Who needs them? Their idiots. I have my plants, my knowledge. That's all I need, right? What am I thinking? Of course it is right; there is no doubt in my head.
I tried to quiet the noise in my head so I could enjoy the peace around me while it lasted. Because the moment that I stepped down stairs the angry buzz of other voices would fill my ears and mind with noise that weighed heavily down on my heart.
This premonition came true as my mother and father's faces turned to face me as I entered the room. “Sit,” my father demanded. And so I sat across from my mother and father.

I tried to catch the eye of my mother to see what this was about. She avoided eye contact, just staring downward, looking at nothing; I knew then that something big and ugly was going to go down around the small kitchen table before the sun even rose completely.
“This ridiculous notion of yours has grown out of hand. I should have ripped it out of the ground when I saw that it had taken root in that head of yours. You are not only disgracing yourself with this, but all of us. Lucia does not want to even want to go down the street any more to get the groceries because of the barely concealed snickers thrown her way. Do you want to do that to your mother?”

I shook my head.
“I would hope not, so I give you this choice. You will stop all ties to this idiotic occupation. Or I will disown you. Then you can beg for scraps of bread.”
“Are you so embarrassed of that you would go to such an extreme? I need not ask. I can see it in your eyes quite clearly. So be it then. You shall not see me again. Let the world laugh. I will treat them all just the same. I will just pack my few belongings and leave you be. Know you have something to be truly ashamed of, because you have lost your only son.”
