@fbi_initials I used to struggle a lot with my identity because I couldn’t fit in anywhere. I’ve had people constantly compliment me of how pure I am, when I began to understand why, I became depressed. I had been living in my bubble. Now, I’m learning to maintain find a healthy balance.

Seek wise counsel from those who’ve proven to be wise but let it not be at the detriment of your authenticity.
