36 chapters of my life
I am consumed by an overwhelmingness in a bustling crowd of people, a sense of loneliness. It's as though a heavy blanket of isolation has been draped over me, smothering any connection with the world around me. Even amidst peals of laughter and joyous chatter, I am the only one who feels the weight of my sadness.
I often wonder if my presence matters, for I am as forgettable as a drop in the ocean. My face could be captured in a million photographs, yet no one would spare me a second glance. I am a shadow, a ghost, a fleeting memory that fades into obscurity.
The truth is, I am a bundle of emotions, raw and exposed. My heart beats with the intensity of a thousand suns, but it is always on the brink of shattering into a million pieces. Anxiety grips me like a vice, and I feel like I am constantly walking on a tightrope, unsure where the next step may lead me.
Perhaps I am like any other teenager, daughter, student, lover, and friend. But the difference is my story captures people's attention.
