She's struggled in the journey of self-discovery until she settled on what she thinks her true self is. She stopped trying to please everybody and started focusing on what pleases her. Powerful stand, but a dangerous ground. Why? What if she settled on a deceitful version of what she think her true self was and she didn't really dig deep enough? And what if what she thinks pleases her turns out to be tied to her emotional state and not the true values she really believe in? She's still on the borderline, but she's not a quitter so she keeps looking, exploring and discovering.

She's struggled with how she appeared to the public. She knew who she was and what she wanted but after being told so many times to dull her shine so.others felt better about themselves. I truly think that when you realize you've toned yourself down or dulled your shine to make others feel better and stop caring you really are free. It's not cruel or hurtful to others. It's just not what they're used to and takes a special person to live with it forever.
Yes, agreed. It's not cruel or hurtful to others. Never tone down or dull your shine.
