Chapter 1 - The Beginning

When I think of my childhood, I remember colors — bright ones. Mornings that smelled of tea and sunlight, evenings filled with sounds of laughter echoing through small streets. I remember running barefoot, chasing the wind, believing that happiness was something permanent.

There were no big dreams back then, only small ones that made my heart full — like playing with friends until the sky turned orange, listening to stories from elders, or waiting for my favorite song to play on TV. Everything felt safe. Everything felt like mine.

But life has a quiet way of preparing you for storms. It doesn't warn you. It just starts to change the rhythm of your days. Smiles become shorter. The people you trust begin to speak in ways that hurt, even when they don't mean to. I didn't know it then, but that was the start of the part of my life that would test every piece of me.
