“It's true I'm here, and I'm just as strange as you.”
Frida Kahlo (1907–1954) Mexican painter
This is usually attributed to the Diary of Frida Kahlo, which does not contain the quotation. As explained on the Quote Investigator website http://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/01/28/flawed/, a postcard containing the quotation and a portion of a photo of Frida Kahlo was sent anonymously in 2008 to the PostSecret website, which posted a photo of the postcard, but the probable author was Becky Martin (Rebecca Katherine Martin). The actual quotation is: I used to think I was the strangest person in the world but then I thought, there are so many people in the world, there must be someone just like me who feels bizarre and flawed in the same ways I do. I would imagine her, and imagine that she must be out there thinking of me too. Well, I hope that if you are out there you read this and know that yes, it’s true I’m here, and I’m just as strange as you. <br class="br">Misattributed
