Once upon a time, there was a shy introverted girl named Lily. She lived in a small town with her parents and younger sister. Lily was a quiet and reserved girl who always kept to herself. She had a rich inner world and spent most of her time lost in her own thoughts and imagination.
Lily was afraid of coming out of her shell and facing the world. She was scared of what lay outside her own world and feared the unknown. She always wondered what it would be like to be confident, outgoing, and popular like the other girls in her school. However, every time she tried to step out of her comfort zone, she would retreat back into her shell, feeling overwhelmed and anxious.
Despite her fears, Lily had a deep desire to connect with others and make friends. She longed for someone to understand her and accept her for who she was. She often found solace in her books and music, but she knew that she needed more than that. She needed human connection.
One day, Lily's parents decided to enroll her in an art class. Lily was hesitant at first, but she decided to give it a try. It was there that she met a girl named Sarah who shared her passion for art. They started talking and soon found that they had a lot in common.
Over time, Lily and Sarah became close friends. Sarah encouraged Lily to express herself through her art and helped her build her confidence. With Sarah's support, Lily started to come out of her shell and explore the world around her. She discovered new interests and hobbies, and even started to make more friends.
Lily realized that the world wasn't as scary as she thought. She learned that there were kind and accepting people out there who were willing to embrace her for who she was. She also discovered that the more she stepped out of her comfort zone, the easier it became to face her fears.
In the end, Lily's journey taught her that it's okay to be shy and introverted, but it's also important to take risks and try new things. She learned that the world is full of possibilities and that by embracing them, she could create a life that was fulfilling and meaningful.

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
