I've always been a bit of a dreamer. Growing up I had this big imagination and would spend hours creating my own stories and characters in my head. It was like I had this other life going on inside me that no one else could see. But at the same time, I also felt really trapped by all of these expectations around me. People always assumed I'd be a certain way or do certain things because I was born into a certain family or lived in a certain place. It made me feel like I didn't have any control over my own life.
As I got older, this feeling of being trapped only grew stronger. Everyone seemed to have these preconceived notions about who they thought I was and what I wanted, but no one really listened to what I had to say or took the time to get to know me as a person. It felt like I was just a decoration in their lives - a pretty face that could be ignored whenever it suited them.
But the thing is, even though all of this stuff can feel really suffocating at times, it's also what drives me to keep pushing forward. There's something inside me that refuses to let go of my own dreams and desires, no matter how much pressure others try to put on me. And maybe one day I'll find a way to break free from all of this and truly be myself - not just for the benefit of those around me, but for my own sake too.
