“No. I didn’t mean that at all. I mean that sometimes, no matter what we do, no matter what we show or prove to others, sometimes we know that they will never see us as anything else. Like when my parents hated that I wanted to do ballet and wanted me to play football instead. I did as they asked, tried to be the jock they wanted me to be, but all I wanted to do was dance. No matter how hard I tried to be the person they wanted and hid that side away, they never looked at me the way I thought they would.”
