It's embarrassing to admit
It's embarrassing to admit, but I've spent most of my life trying to fit into the places I cared to be in. My authentic self was either too much, or I believed when things got tough, that ppl could easily not want me anymore, so I would just without effort do my best to fit in. My husband
