"I’ve always been the socialite, the girl who encouraged her friends and pushed them to step outside their comfort zones. But there were nights when I’d lie awake, stripped of all confidence and pretense, wondering who the hell I was and what I was doing. Had I chosen the wrong path? Was there even a right path for me, or was I destined to drift through life like an aimless ghost? No meaning, no purpose, just day after day of routine and drudgery. A life wasted on bad decisions and short-term highs."(c)
