Experiencing Interruptions?

The Way She Looks

A young lesbian struggles to come to terms with her gender presentation, while being constantly aware of how the world perceives her. As she shifts in and out of daydreams, she imagines a world where her crush sees her for who she truly is, but she first must find comfort in herself.
