In middle school, my world grew loud.
My parents were constantly fighting. My sisters were off in their own teenage worlds — rightly so. And I was there. The quiet one. The sensitive one.
I saw the chaos — emotional flare-ups, slammed doors, unspoken miscommunication. No one truly listened to anyone else. Everyone was in panic mode.
And me? I had needs. But they were subtle. Gentle. Emotional. I didn’t want to add to the noise.
So I learned how to be palatable.
A good girl. A nice girl. A straight-A student.
I did everything right. I smiled. I read. I helped. I stayed out of the way.
But inside, I was building something.
