Growing Pains

This story, although very close and dear to my heart, is made up. I repeat, IT IS FAKE. But only if you discredit the idea that it exists somewhere in the folds of my mind, and that it could very well begin to exist in yours,if we both should be so lucky. Nonetheless, the fact remains that this book is purely a work of fiction, no matter how real or true it feels. All of the characters, places, and events herein have not occurred in real life, and if they have, I assure you that it is entirely coincidental. This is my original piece of work and it has not been, nor will it be, produced or published outside this platform unless permitted by Starywriting and/or its affiliates.  I am truly grateful to anyone who will accompany me on this journey, and I hope it is as monumental for you to read as it is for me to write. I've always wanted to be a writer for as long as I can remember, but I never took any steps to make that dream a reality. Having this platform at my disposal feels like a dream come true, and I'm especially excited about the prospect of owning the term "writer."
