Disclaimer: I don't own the characters and elements of Glee; I'm just here to play.

Notes: While there is a faint chronological order to some of the sections, the story overall isn't; most of it is just snippets. I'm hoping that by posting this, I can get some more inspiration for the other four chapters.

OoOoO

For as long as he could remember, he was different.

Mike was Chinese in a town where Asians were not just a minority but almost nonexistent.

He was a bisexual Buddhist in a primarily Christian and Jewish Midwestern town.

Sometimes, Mike wondered what life would have been like if he'd lived in a place where there were more people like him or more accepting of people like him.

Then he slapped himself in the face and went back to work.
