Hi. This is me. Just an ordinary girl with too many shadows following behind. I wasn't born in a grand city. I didn't grow up with peace. My childhood was built on fear-silent meals, broken plates, and that one man with the thick mustache who always knew how to twist a smile into something dangerous. I was just a kid who couldn't cry too loudly because no one would listen. A girl who learned too early how to walk on eggshells and disappear inside herself. But life has a cruel sense of humor. Just when I thought I had enough pain in my pocket, love knocked on the door wearing soft eyes and big ears - a strange boy I met through a glowing screen. Let's just call him Big Ears. He came from a place far away, where the mountains kiss the sky, and his words sounded like puzzle pieces that almost fit mine. Almost. He made me laugh, he made me dream. He also made me realize how love isn't always enough - not when distance, fear, and rules louder than hearts get in the way. Not when your past is still gripping your ankle, dragging you down just when you're about to fly. This story isn't about perfect endings. It's about the messy middle. About how I tried to heal - from trauma, from heartbreak, from always depending on someone else to save me. It's about learning to stand on my own feet, cook my own meals, walk unfamiliar roads alone, and chase something I never thought I deserved: a future. This is the story of how I picked up my broken pieces and turned them into stepping stones toward a scholarship, a new life, and maybe - just maybe - peace. So if you're here for perfection, this isn't that. But if you're here for honesty, scars, and strength built from the ugliest places - stay. I have a story to tell.

I was thirteen the first time someone told me I talked like I was broken. Not stupid. Not mute. Just... broken. Like my mouth was a machine with missing parts and no one had the patience to wait while I found them. Every syllable was a landmine. My tongue seized, breath caught, throat locked like it was trying to save me from humiliation-only making it worse. When I did speak? People squirmed. Looked away. Finished my sentences like they were doing me a favor. Teachers got frustrated. My father spoke for me at interviews. My mother apologized for me at dinners. So I learned to stay quiet. Silence was safer. Cleaner. By eighteen, I had mastered it. Lived inside it. Until her. She found me in the library, fumbling over the word borrow. I couldn't say it. She could've looked away. Instead, she smiled. "Take your time," she said, like it was the easiest thing in the world. Iris. Paint-stained fingers. Worn-out shoes. Two jobs. Still made time to sit with me, showing me how to breathe through the stutter-not over it. Not around it. Through it. She treated me like I wasn't fragile. Like I was whole. And slowly-I changed. I began speaking in full sentences. Started holding eye contact. I could introduce myself at business events without trembling. And finally "fit" to inherit my father's name. I became the heir my parent always wanted. And when it came time to choose a wife-an arranged match-I said yes. Not because I loved her. Because she was easy. Perfect in public. Iris didn't fit that world. And I didn't realize I'd cut out the best part of myself until she was gone. She just left. Quietly. Like she'd expected it. Now, I hear her absence louder than I ever heard her voice. But I'll find her. And I'll say what I should've said from the start. Even if it takes a thousand broken words- I'll make her hear me.
