Fish Out of Water

Throughout my life there have been many times I’ve felt out of place and like I just didn’t belong. Whether the feelings were justified or an insecurity, the first thing that always came to mind was the fantasy of floating as far away from the situation as possible. The only problem was that reality and gravity always set in and landed me right back where I stood. Later on I realized the best way to rise above it, is to be myself and stay true to who I am. This elevated sense of self has allowed me to be comfortable in my skin and granted me the courage to take on any doubts of my belonging.
