Sometimes the world feels way too loud, like a crowded room with no quiet corner— but then I find a little space, a place just for me, where my thoughts can dance in their own rhythm. My sneakers are scuffed from chasing dreams, and my smile hides a thousand questions about who I am, who I’ll be— but that’s okay, because every step feels like a story I’m still writing. Friends are loud, soft, messy, and kind— like a song I’m learning to sing, sometimes off-key, but always real. So here I am, 14 years old, caught between what’s expected and what feels like magic— and I’m ready to find my own way, one small moment at a time.
