Purplush
A quiet, deeply emotional coming-of-age story about a timid girl growing up in a world that never feels fully safe or stable.
Raised in a complicated family shaped by separation, shifting homes between the city and the province, and relationships that are often unstable, she learns early how to stay silent, stay small, and survive. Behind her quiet personality is a life filled with emotional neglect, fear, and experiences she never fully understands as a child.
As she grows older, the weight of unspoken trauma begins to shape how she sees herself and the world. She struggles with silence, emotional detachment, anxiety, and the feeling of slowly losing connection with her own identity. Even happiness and sadness begin to feel distant, as if she is watching her own life from far away.
