I’m just a quiet village girl, living a life dictated by tradition. My days blend together in a haze of obedience, my voice muffled by the weight of expectation. I wear a mask of subservience, hiding the turmoil within, the doubts that plague me when no one’s watching. It’s hard to keep up appearances, especially when the world outside seems so different. A stranger’s words can stir something deep inside, making me wonder if there’s more to life than the narrow path laid out before me. Sometimes, I feel like I’m drowning in silence.
