A Staple

Description

For a long time, I worked hard to fit in, hiding things I liked, including shrimp cocktail. I felt embarrassed about enjoying this classic appetizer, as it wasn't popular and seemed cheesy, being just boiled shrimp with ketchup sauce. In my early 20s, I decided enough was enough. I started proudly telling people I liked shrimp cocktail and discovered many others did too. This helped me connect with people and led me to embrace my authentic self, no longer hiding parts of who I am to fit in.
