Embracing Who She Is

Fiorella wasn't planning on a New Year's resolution this year, but one came rushing down on her of its own accord, like Vesuvius exploding. Yes, low bridge, everybody down--Fiorella is going to stop pretending to be normal and will just be herself.

The whole concept is frightening since Fio has spent most of her life trying to act like everyone else, although little pieces of her real self kept squeezing through her fingers like Silly Putty. It's hard to be different, but even harder to be different and pretend to be the same.

Ignoring what other people think and say and do
She'll spread her wings and to her own strange self be true.
Up up, and away!
It's a new day!
