I was always known as the quiet one but also talks too. I was very different than most socially. I was not outgoing, I was not shy, I was in the middle. I was always hard to come around and needed to open up, but I often still feel the sense of quietness in me. I was an early riser which most did not get.

Most people in the teenage, young adult age hate waking up early. I was not that one. I never partied nor did I follow a crowd. That is not out of place, it's who I am.

Girl, just know that if you feel out of place, you are not alone. You are reading from someone who can relate. It's OK to be the quiet one. It's OK to not want to be around a crowd, it's OK to not be interested in partying. It's who you are, what matters is you have a heart and prefer to show your heart to everyone in your own way.

Just know that being a follower is not what you should want. Being yourself is what you want. Don't listen to what others say, focus on loving who you are and finding the ones who can relate, love, and accept you for who you are.
