Well, at least until I started university.But what if there's so many versions of you that are constantly changing and you don't really know which version that it is that you need to be authentic towards. This was me at the start of my university journey. I was this baby platypus.Can you see the fear in its eyes. It looks so lost, so confused. And that was me.I was so scared. Scared of ...
