I've always been a bit of a loner. I never really had many friends growing up - or at least not the kind who stayed around for long. There was just something about me that seemed to repel people, like I emitted some sort of aura that made them uncomfortable. My parents were old-fashioned and proper, they taught me to be demure and ladylike but they never really understood what it was like to be me.
As a child, I used to sneak into the attic and watch myself in the mirror for hours on end. I would try on different outfits, practicing my best 'feminine' smile, and I loved staring at my own reflection. There's something so mesmerizing about your own face when you're alone with it. I'm not sure if it's just me, but have you ever found yourself lost in your own eyes? It's like time stands still.
When I grew up, I became a lawyer. It was the perfect job for me - all that solitary time spent staring at documents and arguing with clients suited my reclusive nature perfectly. But deep down, I knew it wasn't really living. I felt so empty inside, even after years of success and recognition from others. Sometimes I think about walking away from it all and starting over somewhere new, but the thought is both exhilarating and terrifying at the same time...
