Somewhere Between Then and Now
1 part Ongoing Arin never meant to fall apart.
Not loudly.
Not dramatically.
Just quietly - one bad day at a time.
At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe.
After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching.
A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again.
Not perfectly.
Just honestly.
A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.
