" Throughout my life, I had always remained in the background, a quiet observer of the world. However, I discovered the power of my voice through words. It was as if a dormant flame had been ignited, allowing me to express my thoughts, feelings, and ideas with a newfound confidence. Yet, despite this newfound voice, I found solace and comfort in the shadows. In the dim lights, I feel a sense of belonging and security, as if it is where I truly belong. It is within the hidden corners, away from the blinding lights and expectations, where I can be my truest self. The shadows offer a sanctuary, a place where I can freely explore my creativity and introspection. In this duality of finding my voice and embracing the shadows, I have found my home."
