Before I Turned Eighteen is not a story about forgetting pain.
It is a story about learning how to live with it.
In this deeply personal and raw narrative, Lena traces the quiet storms of her teenage years - heartbreak disguised as friendship, betrayal that taught her self-worth, a young love that ended before it truly began, and the silent wounds left by people who were meant to guide her.
At thirteen, she learned that love can leave without warning.
In classrooms, she learned that authority does not always mean kindness.
Through friendships that shattered, she learned that not everyone who walks beside you is meant to stay.
But somewhere between the insults, the misunderstandings, and the loneliness, she discovered something stronger than hurt - herself.
A solo journey becomes her turning point.
Small victories begin to matter.
And slowly, painfully, beautifully - she realizes that trauma does not disappear. It transforms. It becomes wisdom. It becomes strength.
Set in the tender in-between of girlhood and womanhood, this story captures the softness and courage of growing up - where healing is not about erasing the past, but about carrying it differently.
Before she turns eighteen, she makes peace with her memories.
And chooses to move forward - calmer, wiser, and unafraid.
