In the vibrant city of Legazpi, I, Kyla G. Lagamayo, took my first breath on October 28, 2006. At 16, my world revolves around the written word, finding solace and adventure within the pages of books. Amidst the ups and downs, I navigate life with four siblings, a poignant absence left by the eldest who recently departed. In the ebb and flow of relationships, my parents have parted ways, each charting their own course. This is the story of my journey woven with loss, love, and the unwritten chapters that lie ahead.
