Suman Singh is a first-year B.Com student at D.Y. Patil ACS Junior College. Like many teenagers, she grew up balancing academics, friendships, self-doubt, and the unspoken pressure to appear strong even when emotions felt overwhelming. For a long time, she never imagined that the quiet thoughts she carried or the feelings she struggled to name could matter beyond her own world.
As she grew older, Suman began noticing patterns around her. Emotions were being bottled up, exhaustion was hidden behind smiles, self-worth was tied to validation, and a shared loneliness quietly spread among people her age. What she felt inside reflected what others were living through in silence. That realization became the starting point of her writing.
