Chapter 1 - I am Emma
I am Emma.
Are you ready to hear my story?
It is not a story woven from soft, pastel dreams—
not one that fills your stomach with butterflies or leaves you smiling in quiet delight.
No… mine is different.
It is long, heavy, and lined with the quiet ache of countless disappointments.
I am not telling it to entertain you.
I am telling it because something inside me refuses to stay silent.
Because there are words that have waited too long to be spoken,
feelings that demand to be poured out—endlessly, relentlessly.
Why did I begin?
Perhaps to rewrite what was broken.
Perhaps to question what was left unanswered.
Or maybe… for those who, like me, once reached out
and found no hand reaching back.
This is for the untaken hands.
For the stories that were never held…
