Embrace Quote by Leila Sales

“I had always thought that if I just did something extraordinary enough, then people would like me. But that wasn't true. You will drive away everyone by being extraordinary…. But you, you will never learn your lesson. The world embraces ordinary. The world will never embrace you.” quote by Leila Sales
