Once upon a time...

there was a hopelessly lost girl. She didn't know who she wanted to be, who she should be or even dared to dream of who she could be. She was living in a world of mixed emotions and jumbled up desires. She didn't know whether to do this or that. She wasn't completely sure if she was doing what she was for herself or for someone else. She always had to get a second opinion and usually went with what the other person suggested other than what she had felt about the particular subject matter. But to be honestly truthful more than anything; she was scared. Of everything. She was so timid and shy about everything. Absolutely everything. From boys to just speaking out in class. She felt confused about what she had liked, about what she should like or perhaps what would be just amazing to like. Have you ever felt inspired by someone? Perhaps even if they are the complete opposite of you? For instance, you were inspired by their hobbies such as they infatuation with art, literature, photography etc. Or perhaps the person's characteristics such as determination, spontaneity, or just love of life? Well, she had many inspirations and when she though about what the people had done she was awe-struck. She wanted to be able to do that. She wanted to like the same things because they people seemed so amazing and just... were themselves. So she said to others that she liked those things. But in the end.... she forgot what she herself had liked and would always ask herself "Do I truly enjoy this?". But she didn't even know how to answer that simple question. It was then so hard for her to tell the truth from the dreams she had aspired to be. In the end she was just lost. Confused. Cursed some people would say. Who could help her other than herself? But how could she peel away her true passions from other people's expectations and their dreams? She was just so, so timid. So undeniable scared. She felt as if she was trapped in a box of which she could not get out of. She was trapped within herself.
