Dear Zindagi

At just 16, Shreyasi has already weathered the emotional storms most people spend a lifetime navigating. Born the younger daughter in a family where she's constantly overshadowed and dismissed, she grows up under the weight of comparison-especially to her seemingly perfect older sister. Her voice is drowned out, her dreams dimmed, and every attempt to assert herself is met with doubt or indifference. Years of internalizing criticism chip away at her confidence, leaving her questioning her worth, her abilities, and even the authenticity of the love she receives.

This book follows Shreyasi's raw, honest journey through insecurity, anxiety, and emotional trauma. It sheds light on how early emotional neglect can seep into every aspect of a young girl's identity, from how she sees herself to how she connects with others. But more than just recounting pain, this is a story of unlearning, healing, and rebuilding. As Shreyasi begins to confront the patterns holding her back, she also begins to rediscover the power within her-to choose herself, to believe in her voice, and to rewrite her story.

Poignant and empowering, this is a narrative of self-worth, resilience, and the quiet revolution of becoming your own hero.
