traintracksdiaries
This story is close to my heart-based on real people, real moments, and real events. I started writing it when I was 15, just scattered pieces on scraps of paper, notes scribbled in journals, and the words I poured into my dear diaries.
Please note:
This story explores mature themes, including smoking, drug use, and violence. It captures the gritty realities of youth and rebellion. If these topics are sensitive for you, please read with care.

In a tight-knit suburban neighborhood, a group of teenagers calling themselves the DS navigate the blurred line between innocence and rebellion.
Hidden by dense woods and metal fences, the train tracks are a place of freedom, danger, and secrets. It's where they go to drink, smoke, dream, and dare the world to stop them.
At the center of the story is Michael, a complicated and charismatic boy, who stands apart from the rest of the group. Manera, a thoughtful and observant girl, is drawn into their hidden world of train tracks, late-night gatherings, and fleeting thrills. The train tracks, a place of secrecy and escape, become the backdrop for friendships, betrayals, and desires that will shape them all.
Train Tracks is more than just a novel-it's a world. It's a raw, gritty, and deeply nostalgic exploration of youth, rebellion, and the bittersweet nature of growing up.
