All the Versions of Her

She was loud, spoiled, and full of fire-until the world went quiet.

When the pandemic hit, the brat in her disappeared.
Left behind was a girl with a headset on, balancing calls and college, paying bills no one saw, holding back tears no one asked about.

From a dream of becoming a teacher to the quiet burnout of becoming everything else, she carried her family, her doubts, and the weight of what growing up too soon feels like.

This is her story.
In pieces. In pauses.
In all the versions of her.
