Living in a world filled with turmoil and uncertainty can bring about a whirlwind of emotions. Sometimes, it feels as if we are lost, like we don't belong or that we are treated differently from others. It's during these difficult times that we often question our place in the world and wonder why we bear the brunt of unfair treatment.
Among these people, I stand. A 19-year-old girl, ambitious and unafraid to give her all for her dreams and goals. Yet my family does not consider my aspirations worthwhile, as if I have no right to dream.
My days of cheerfulness and freedom seem distant now, as I witness the light leaving my eyes, replaced by dullness and numbness. It's a feeling of being lost, of not knowing if I'm truly alive or just going through the motions.
