I never thought it would end like this.
I always thought I had a home.
I always thought I had a family,
but as it turns out, my past is darker than the lies they told me and the truth they kept from me.
They thought I'd break. That I'd disappear into silence. But I survived. Not for revenge, not for pity - but because my story was never meant to end there. This is the unfiltered truth of a girl who chose to rise through betrayal, fear, isolation... and found strength in survival.
