Her First Lie Quotes

“My entire life I’d been a shape-shifter. I didn’t have any other choice if I wanted to survive. I’ve never been free to be the person I was on the inside. It wasn’t safe. It was one of the reasons I preferred being by myself—I didn’t have to wear a mask. But see, that was the problem. Why people’s love never reached me. Because they were just loving the character I presented to them. The one on the outside.”
― Lucinda Berry, Her First Lie
