My friend Bailey is looking at me with tears in her eyes and a smile of pure joy. She sees me, the real me, not the broken little bird that my mother sees, or the Ambassador of Hope that my father sees, or the girl who was stupid enough to walk off with a stranger and ruin everyone's lives that my sister sees. Bailey sees me as I want to be: a normal, non-newsworthy, non-broken, non-victimized sixteen-year-old girl. Clara Kensie
About This Quote

When you are with your friends, you don't want them to see you as the broken girl that your family sees. Instead, you want them to see who you really are. It is important to be seen for who you really are. Not just the girl on the outside but on the inside as well. Your family may love you but if they don't know about your true self, they will never understand you or what makes you happy.
