Hidden just beneath a vibrant extrovert smile: the need for silence.

Tagging: Aimée Gramblin | Neha Sandhir S | Imad | Kat of Magik | Salma Alaa and anyone else interested in today’s prompt: Costume.

Lucy (The Eggstrovert Imposter) took the theme of costume and dug deeper into how this word comes up in her life. In her day to day, she pretends to be much more extroverted than she truly is, just to blend into her environment. She feels like she fits in, but doesn’t belong.
