In Norway, she spent so many years apologizing for being different, for being an Orthodox Christian, for her accent, and for the way she spoke in conversations. However, she eventually realized that this is what distinguished her as a person. The fact that she has an accent, for example, indicates that she has studied another language. She has always felt like an outsider, and she still does, and there will always be a piece of her that feels like a refugee. And that is a part of her personality. However, her perspective on this is shifting. Eastern European block designers are gaining traction in the fashion industry, which she found hilarious. All of the things that she has been chastised for her entire life because of how she dressed are now fashionable. It's only made her realize that she was an idiot. It turns out that she was the one who was stigmatizing herself. That is a lesson for us all.
