As a child I was told to "grow up."
When I grew up, I was labeled as a tom boy and because of my nature to please, obediently, I fell in line.
When I was old enough to begin breaking through my shell, I was told being "cutesy," was immature and not becoming of my age.
Now I really am too old to be "cutesy."
I don't just want to be myself at home. I just want to be myself.
My heart is breaking for the girl who never was and never will be.
