She's always felt so out of place. Misunderstood by everyone she's encountered. Even herself on occasion. Why has she always felt so unnatural on this earth? No comfort zone other than when she's alone. Maybe they think she's a ***** or a goody two shoes. But just because she does not enjoy earthly things is that fair to assume? I think not. The reason she clings so hard to her faith is so that she has a reason to tell people she do not enjoy these things. It is her hope. The thing that makes her feel understood. That she may feel like she belongs someday. That she may find people like her. Who think the same. She tries so hard to make others on this planet happy but cannot because she is different. Unique. Valuable to the one who matters. They think she's mad. But a wise person once said, "all the best people are". Why do you think she admires Alice so much? She feels comfort in her madness. Her feelings of being so out of place and thinking so differently. She inspires her soul.
