It's a really common experience, isn't it? You go through life, and you realize that not everyone gets you. Some people might not understand my quietness, or the gentle way I approach things, my softness.

It’s such a liberating thought when it finally clicks, isn't it? For so long, I honestly believed that at some point, I had to "finish becoming someone." There was this underlying pressure to
