She was a girl who was always on the move, always striving to meet the expectations that had been placed upon her since she was a child. Her family had always been her top priority, and she would do anything for them, even if it meant sacrificing her own wants and needs. It was this selflessness that made her stand out from the crowd, but it was also what made her seem cold and distant to those who didn't know her.
Outwardly, she was perceived as rude and arrogant, someone who thought they were better than everyone else. This was because she grew up treating others with a certain disregard, as if they were not important to her. But that was only because she was so focused on taking care of her family's needs that she never had time for others.
What others couldn't see was the effort she put into everything she did. Every day was a struggle for her, a balancing act between her duties to her family and the desire to be loved and appreciated by those outside of her immediate circle. Despite the exhaustion she felt, she never once complained or gave up. She simply kept pushing forward, always trying to do better.
But as hard as she tried, the people around her never seemed to understand the effort she put in. They couldn't see the love she had in her heart, or the loneliness that sometimes crept in when she was left alone with her thoughts. All they saw was the girl who seemed unfriendly and aloof, never realizing that she just wanted someone to see her efforts and love her for who she truly was.
