Introduction - The Girl Who Never Said it
I was never silent.......I just learned that my feelings were too heavy for the world to carry.
I was never the loud one. Not the one who fought. Not the one who explained. I was the girl who stayed quiet.
Not because I had nothing to say.....but because I had too much.
From the outside, I looked normal. I smiled when i was supposed to. I laughed at the right moments. I said "I'm fine" like I meant it.
But inside, there were storms. Question I never asked. Pain I never showed. Tears I wiped before anyone noticed.
I learned very early that feelings can make people uncomfortable.
So I folded mine carefully...... and kept them inside my chest.
I never told anyone when something broke me. I never said where i felt left out. I never said when I was scared. I never said when i needed someone.
I just adjusted.
People called me strong. They called me mature. They said, "she understand everything."
What they didn't know was - I understood everything......but no one understood me.
This book is not about perfect girl. It's about a silent one. A girl who felt deeply but spoke softly. A girl who carried conversations in her head that she never had in real life.
This is not just a story. It is every word I swallowed. Every tear I hide. Every "It's okay" that wasn't okay.
