✨ Title: Her Struggles
📖 Chapter 1: Overcoming Every Obstacle as a Relentless Youth
---
I was broke.
Not just “short on cash,” but truly empty-pocketed, hope-drained, and frustrated.
I needed money for school — books, dues, little things that pile up like bricks — and I had nothing.
I thought, How do people survive this?
I cried silently. Hustled quietly. And somehow... I scaled through.
But that wasn’t even the full story of my week.
---
A boy asked me out.
My first time.
He was my neighbor’s son.
Older. Final year in college.
And he had this way of staring at me like he saw something no one else could see.
That night, he called.
Asked for my number.
I asked for his own number instead —he said I should text him.
I never texted.
Since then, every time I walk by, he looks at me.
Not with anger. Just that same gaze, like he’s waiting for something I’m not ready to give.
Was it because I didn’t text him?
Was it because I’ve been too busy?
Even on my birthday, I barely replied to anyone.
They weren’t happy — and honestly, neither was I.
But I was too drained to pretend.

Today wasn’t easier either.
I went through some online struggles that pushed me mentally
But I didn't give up no matter what.
