About This Quote
The quote, "But I discovered that people like me…," is a euphemism for much deeper and more personal meaning. The speaker is saying that they realized that it actually wasn't so much that she was different from people as much as it was that she was not like other people. She began to learn the lesson of how much more enjoyable life could be when she didn’t have to be exactly like everyone else—when she could just be herself.
