I know that there are seven billion people in this crazy world and just the thought of it is an amazement for such a small girl surrounded by this big place. It is a struggle when that same big place is telling her who she should be, what she should like, and how she should act.
I spent my life trying to mold myself into the person everyone else wanted me to be. I changed my interests in hopes that it would catch their eye and they would look at me with that sparkle in their eyes everyone spoke about. I changed myself so much that by the time I stopped to take a breath I did not recognize the girl staring back at me in the mirror. This terrified me more than anything ever had before. I handled that feeling completely wrong and went about putting up walls around the plastic castle I had built in my place.
