The Fading Shadows
By Vichea

21 Aug, 2023

Laura had always felt out of place. Her dreams were different than others, her thinking was unconventional and her energy w low. The world around her felt chaotic and vast.

Every day, she faced judgments, unspoken expectations, and silent disapproval from those around her. She launched from one disappointment to the other.

Despite feeling undesired, Laura did not change. She did not put up a facade, nor did she adapt. Authenticity was the only armor she wore.

However, she often found herself questioning her worth, her existence, her impact. Discomfort was her daily companion and disappointment her cloak.

At times, Laura wondered if she was simply destined to live in the shadows, unseen and unappreciated. Her dreams felt unattainable, her aspirations unrealistic.

But then, she met Martha, a woman who was everything Laura was not: outgoing, vivacious, and ambitious. Martha was an embodiment of the modern world that Laura struggled to fit into.

Martha saw Laura not as an outsider but as a unique individual. She encouraged Laura to embrace who she was and not to conform or change for anyone.

Laura found it difficult to accept Martha's words. She had always believed that she was the problem, that she needed to change.

But Martha's faith in her made Laura question her own beliefs. She wondered if there was indeed more to her than she thought.

Laura began to see the world differently. She accepted her differences and began to see them as strengths rather than weaknesses.

Martha helped Laura realize her potential. Laura was smart, insightful, and had a unique perspective on things.

Laura began to stand up for herself, to voice her thoughts, to express her feelings. She began to participate in life rather than just exist.
