JOURNEY-VOULUME1: Turning Teens(End of middle school)

"Growing up is messy, loud, and way more complicated than they told us.
Middle school's ending. The chaos is just getting started."

Being a teenager isn't all movie moments and perfect Instagram pictures.
It's more like:
• Making delulu is solulu your daily mantra.
• Staying way too active on Snap.
• First days where you're half excited, half "help me."
• Group chats that never stop buzzing.
• Random crushes that mess with your brain.
• Parents who think they know everything - and just don't get it.
• Late-night overthinking sessions you never signed up for.

This year? My last year of middle school. Which means last assemblies, last trips, last everything before the scary-cool thing called high school.

There'll be laughs, secrets, drama, chaos, a whole lot of reality checks about my life - and maybe a little heartbreak.
Some days will change me quietly. Others will crash into my life like a hurricane.

And if you've ever wondered, "Am I the only one?" - nope.
Welcome to the club.

About the Author

Crystal - not her real name, just her pen name (because mysterious is more fun).
She's a teen with a talent for turning everyday chaos into stories, making "delulu is solulu" sound like a life philosophy, and spilling just enough tea to keep things interesting.

When she's not writing, she's busy overthinking, doodling in the margins, or pretending her life is a Netflix series - which, honestly, it's starting to feel like. So she decided to wrap some of those middle school stories and moments inside this book.
