I woke up feeling like my stomach was tied in knots. The press conference was looming, and I couldn't shake the feeling of dread. I wasn't someone who enjoyed being the center of attention, and today was going to be especially difficult.
The events of the previous night had left me emotionally drained, and the thought of facing the media was almost overwhelming.
I dragged myself out of bed and headed to the bathroom for a quick shower. The hot water helped to wake me up, but it did little to ease my anxiety. After drying off, I stood in front of the mirror, contemplating my outfit.
I needed to look professional and composed, but also approachable. I decided on a simple yet elegant navy blue dress with a fitted waist and a modest neckline. It was classy without being ostentatious.
