This is a quote by Pheobe Waller-Bridge. She is one the most inspirational women I have known in my life, and her genius and fearlessness live through many women worldwide, I’m sure. For me, it’s something I have been trying to do and a piece of advice I have been trying to follow, but so far, it has never been easy. You see, I was born into an interesting family, like many others, in the sense that I was different from most of them from the beginning. From a very young age, I was always trying to find ways to escape the mould they were trying to fit me in. Still, I was either too terrified of getting caught or easily swayed by the “logic” of the worthiness of the situation, and the trouble I would be in was more substantial than my own dreams. I was brought up to believe what people think about you matters more than anything else in the world, and as a “good girl,” you have one job only: to satisfy everyone’s expectations of you. You can imagine the pressure and, more importantly, the fear you will have to carry within you. The fear of never being good enough.
