Why did she feel so left out?

Lauren was a pretty girl with good friends, good grades, loving family and was generally considered a good person, yet somehow, she was empty.

She spent her time pretending to be happy. Pretending that she loved her life when really, she just wanted to be someone else.

One day Lauren woke up and didn’t know where she was. She looked around and instantly realized that this was her chance to start over.

Unfortunately, she rolled over, opened her eyes and saw the same room she had slept in all her life. This disappointment and exasperation hit her like a brick wall as she burst into tears.
