The sun was setting over the high mountain lake as I sat on my wooden raft, soaking in the serenity of the moment. My 19-year-old body relaxed against the worn wood beneath me, feeling carefree and at peace for once. The breeze gently caressed my skin, rustling my short hair as it danced across the water's surface.

I'd always been a bit of an oddball, never quite fitting in with the crowd growing up in the small town I called home. But I've come to realize that being different isn't something to be ashamed of - it's what makes me unique and special. And at 19, I feel like I'm finally starting to figure out who I am.

My eyes wander across the tranquil lake, taking in the breathtaking view before me. The light catches my skin just right, highlighting my flawless complexion and even skin tone. I let out a contented sigh as the sun dips below the horizon, casting a warm glow over everything around me. It's moments like these that I cherish - when all seems right with the world, and nothing else matters except for this peaceful slice of time.
