"I'm just going to live life. I'm going to go enjoy life. I have nothing left to hide. I am kind of a free person, a free soul," Caitlyn said during her Vanity Fair interview. "(Up) to this point I would wear, you know, Bruce would wear, you know, sweatshirts with hoods on them so paparazzi can't get pictures… and I didn't want them to see if my fingernails were polished or, you know, on and on and on. It was hell."To be able to wake up in the morning, be yourself, get dressed, get ready to go out, and just be like a normal person – that's a wonderful feeling to go through life."
