The New Girl

Much of my time at primary schools, I was the new girl - trying to be a chameleon to blend in, to not stand out although for someone who was 5ft 9 at aged 12, this wasn't always easy :( . Some might see this as a chance to re-invent myself if traits didn't work, but it also meant that I had no real chance to grow into who I was, for as soon as I established myself as more than the new girl, I was ripped away to start again without being able to build on who I was, me. I was always trying to find that elusive combination that would ensure that people liked me, but they didn't and only now do I realise that I wouldn't want everyone to like for me to please everyone because that leaves me out of the equation. I need to try to work who I am, to move further forward.
