I'd always thought my awkwardness was a thin veil
disguising the real me.
The me that was funny and could write songs that touched
people. The me that would one day find some beautiful,
intelligent boy who'd recognize me as his
soul mate. the me who was secretly
pretty and stylish if only someone would lift the
veil and see. But I was beginning to suspect
that underneath the awkwardness there was just
more awkwardness and not much else. And
that would explain why I stood in a room full of people
and still felt like
the lonliest
girl in the world.
