Reclaiming Identity

Write a monologue where your character asserts their true self, shedding a facade they’ve been wearing for years.

The character should be at a point in their life where they’re ready to embrace their true identity, despite fears or repercussions. This monologue should encapsulate the relief, emancipation, and fear that comes with embracing one’s true self. This prompt touches on themes of authenticity, societal expectations, and self-acceptance.
