IS IT REALLY OKAYY?? Is it really okay or we let this become so normal that it no longer feels wrong? When did we stop calling it what it is? Or may be the fact that it no longer feels wrong is exactly the problem. -------------- KHWAISH, 18 - she has seen the reality of the world, and she's still watching it with hope. She has seen people lie, break, and betray. She knows what the world really is - the good and the bad. But she refuses to become what she has seen. She still loves. Still asks questions. Still calls out what is wrong - because hope without courage is just silence. This is not the story of a girl learning the world is dark. It's the story of a girl who already knows what the world is - and chooses to look at it with light anyway but refused to stay silent . -------------- STORY IS IN FORM OF DIARY WRITING .

And I promised myself a long time ago: she'd never have to carry my pain, too. So I bottle it up. I stay silent. I protect her, even when it tears me apart. This isn't about being strong. This is about surviving-for her.
