Lily had a beautiful smile plastered all over her face.
She glanced at the group of women's fake smiles and patted her back inwardly.
Lily was not always the type that would accept what the society foists on her. It wasn't because she likes to piss people off — alright, maybe that was one of her reasons. But her main reason was that she wanted to create her own identity.
Just like her grandmother, Lily would rather be called different than blend in and let society define her identity. This was one of the things that her late grandmother always told her.
'Forge your own identity. Work hard, command attention, and master your own image.'
This sounds simple. But in a world where society always had something to say about everything, having your own identity is quite difficult.
