People call me outgoing. I guess, superficially, it means I can socialize easily. And that's true. But socializing is not friendship. Now I have a few “real” friends — not too many. They make me feel cared for and give me confidence, and I trust them. I wish I could spend all my time with my friends but at the same time, I don’t like it when someone wants to own me. three piece nighty Haha, I can only imagine. You went into international fame at a very young age. You could have skipped college if you wanted to. You could have potentially gone onto the lecture circuit or you could have continued to write books or continued your work with the Malala Fund. But education is so important to you. Why, for you, has it been education, and why did you decide it was so important for you to go to college?MY: three piece nighty In high school, I grew into myself in silence. I was involved in multiple extracurriculars. I cringed every day on my way home from school as I drove past a field near the local Catholic church covered in “Life Begins at Conception” signage and lined with crosses memorializing aborted fetuses. But I still got in line to sign the abstinence pledge put out by the health teachers my freshman year. I debated in favor of universal health care in speech class but rehearsed in the basement so my parents wouldn’t overhear. I thought Sean Hannity was a cartoon character, but I still watched the news with my dad most evenings after dinner. Hiding what I really felt was the simplest way to keep the peace in our stifling religious home. Until it wasn’t. three piece nighty For our five-person clan, distance has made us stronger. The less we see one another, the more willing we are to listen to each other when we’re together. And the more I speak my truth, the better the dynamic becomes. My dad’s come around to climate change and installed solar panels on his RV. My brother doesn’t care if women get abortions. I, at the very least, watch the weird YouTube videos my brother sends me and have candid conversations with my dad about the inherent corruption in politics. Middle ground stretches farther than you’d expect in middle America. three piece nighty
