Writing my way through the wreckage of a life I never asked for-each sentence a scar laid bare on the page. Here, you'll find the fractured pieces of neglect and abuse, the silent screams that linger in empty rooms, and the fragile glimmers of hope that stitch us back together. This isn't a fairy tale of "happily ever after," but a memoir of survival: breathing through the cracks, laughing at the absurdity of pain, and learning to believe in tomorrow-even when it feels impossible. If you've ever felt like you're hanging on by a thread, welcome home. I'm JustBarelyJ, and these are the words that saved me.
