“I just don’t know what’s happened to me. I’ve become too timid, too scared, too ashamed to do all of the things I dream of doing. I’ve gotten so comfortable with letting people push me around, and now I don’t know how to change it. How am I supposed to get what’s inside me OUT? I don’t think I’m ever going to be able to be happy until I do. I’m afraid to believe that this is just who I am and all I’m ever going to be.”
