    I’m still just me – Je suis toujours juste moi. To bring joy to others and without accolades.

    I’m still just me – I’ve become the person I didn’t plan to be. I’m not who I planned to be when I planned to be me. I’m here (in the now) and I’m not what I thought I would be. I’m still just me. Je suis toujours juste moi – Je suis devenue la…
