"This is aimed towards people, not just children/teenagers, but everybody. We've all encountered the 'smart people.' But what if you're one of them? What they call 'gifted?' It's not just rainbows and butterflies, it gets tough sometimes too. So I guess we're here to help, and even share experiences. You're not alone."~Samantha

To expound upon Samantha's statement, we want to create a place for comfort and knowledge, a place that we can all call home.... because no one should feel lost or alone because of how their minds work. No one should feel alienated.

We are Wanderers because we wander around, learning through trial and error as we move throughout our lives; and we are Seekers because, the moment we understand what it is that we are looking for, we seek it out. And throughout this journey of self discovery and exploration, we want you to know that you are not alone, that there are other people Seeking, other people Wandering.

So come, join us on this venture. You are all welcome to stay awhile! :')

Spidey Senses Tingling

Hahaha, I have a story, it may make you smile, or laugh. But I'll share it because I guess the whole point of this is to share our experiences and ideas. I guess I may become a blog-whore on this site ;) This is the second time I've posted today!

Anyways, when I was in grade six, everybody kind of knew me as the 'smart kid'. So of course, I did 'smart kid' stuff. For instance, when everybody else was paying attention to the teacher, I was reading or doing my own thing. I didn't really pay attention much that year, the school work was easy, and it didn't take much effort.

So, I was reading, and I vaguely hear a question from my teacher. Of course, I ignore it, knowing the answer.

But--to my surprise--my spidey senses start tingling. I can FEEL the eyes watching me. So I look up, and everybody is staring at me. "What's the answer?" They asked me, and I stare dumbly at them for a while, amused that they automatically assumed that I know the answer.

So, I reply with an exasperated, "Do it yourself." And they did end up doing it themselves (with the teacher's help), but nonetheless, from that point on, whenever a difficult question arose, my spidey senses would tingle.

Anyways, I've always found that amusing. Not sure if you do too. But, I'd love to read a post on an experience, be it funny or sad, or even just a favourite quote.
"It is easier to fight for ones beliefs than to live up to them."
