To the quiet moments that taught me to listen.Â
To my school, where my voice first found rhythm.Â
To my friends, who stayed like firelight.Â
To my younger self—who dared to feel deeply and write anyway.
This book is yours.
I dedicate this book to every student who writes between classes, dreams between exams, and feels too much in a world that asks for too little.
To my teachers, my friends, and the moonlit nights that held me—thank you for letting me be soft and strong at once.
