This narrative takes us through the turbulent, fragmented journey of a child trying to make sense of a chaotic, often harsh family life. Unfolding a series of disorienting moments-parents who are distant or absent, the feeling of being a pawn in their dysfunctional relationship, and the deep longing for something stable. It reflects on experiences ranging from a cold unhelpful family to the unsettling quiet of a bus ride that leads to an uncertain future, with each memory cut sharply by moments of neglect, indifference, and emotional confusion. This autobiography dives into the emotional impact of abandonment, the confusion of loyalty and love in the face of toxic dynamics, and the crushing realization that family isn't always a place of refuge. It's a raw and honest. Love that wasn't conditional, and a search for belonging that was never truly found. --- No.1 in familydysfunction (21/04/2025) No.1 in familystuggles (24/04/2025) No.1 in factsaboutme (25/04/2025) No.1 in emotionalneglect (29/04/2025)

This collection is an ode to strength in vulnerability, a dance between fragility and power. It holds space for the quiet moments when breaking seemed inevitable, and the defiant heartbeat that chose to keep going anyway. A tribute to the girl I was, the one who should have been broken beyond repair, yet rose with trembling hands and a voice finding its way.
