She spent so many years trying to fit in. She laughed at jokes she didn't find funny and pretended to be interested in things that bored her.
But one day, something inside her snapped. She realized that she was tired of being trapped in a lie.

It wasn't easy, of course. There were times when she felt like an outcast. But through it all, she held onto the belief that being true to herself was worth it.
She was who she was, and that was enough.
