It wasn't the first time in her life that she felt this way. Out of place, out of sorts, as if she was running out of auntenticity and time. She spent her entire life into her thirties trying to fit in, trying to be someone she thought she should be. The problem was the person that she was striving to be was fluid, never defined and therefore never achieveable.

There was no defining moment but at somepoint in the middle of her thirtieth decade she decidid that now would be a good time to start being authentic. To start listening to her heart instead of her silly head that was more concerned with fitting in, being liked and seeming accomplished than with being comfortable in her own skin and satisfying her spirit. Catching up to where others were no longer seemed important, she finally wanted to stop being concerned with if she was left out and instead recognize the happieness she had right where she was.
