“But I’m starting to feel like the world doesn’t want me to be a part of it,” she continued. “I am constantly fighting back against the lies that are told about me in the quest for influence and recognition… being the butt of jokes all the time because of my looks… being discriminated against by people who don’t know my personality… is being disrespected.”
“I didn’t sign up for this crap,” she concluded. “I quit.”
