kem. My name is Rio… I never asked to be different. I was born this way — with eyes that don’t quite match theirs, and steps that stumble behind my small dreams. I thought hearts could see beyond appearances… but I was wrong.

My name is Rio…

I didn’t ask to be different.
I was just born this way — with eyes that don’t quite match theirs, and steps that stumble when I try to keep up with the world.

I used to believe that love could see past appearances…
But I was wrong.

Most people only saw what was “wrong” with me.
They saw my uneven walk, my strange eyes — and not the gentle heart beating beneath them.
They looked away, afraid to touch what wasn’t perfect.

All I ever wanted was a little warmth — a kind hand, a look that said,

“You still deserve to be loved.”

Then one day, someone did stop.
They didn’t flinch. They didn’t pity me.
They smiled — as if my flaws were the most beautiful thing they’d ever seen.

They reached out and whispered,

“Come home, little one.”

And in that moment, I finally understood —
being different doesn’t make you unlovable.
It just takes the right heart to see your light. 🕊️❤️
