Hi, I’m Tanishq Chawla, and I’m 18 years old. My journey into writing began when I started writing poems as a way to express the feelings I couldn’t put into words otherwise. Little did I know that what started as a form of personal expression would turn into a love for literature and storytelling. The world of words has always been my refuge, and through it, I’ve come to understand the power stories have in connecting us to ourselves and to each other. When I was younger, I was fascinated by the stories of teenagers—their struggles, their triumphs, their quiet battles, and their undeniable growth. I wanted to write about those raw, unspoken experiences that defined so many of us. Vida De Un Adolescente is a culmination of those thoughts, the struggles of youth, and the ways in which we navigate the often turbulent, unpredictable path of adolescence. Teenage years are a time of transformation, when the foundation of who we are starts to take shape. It's a period filled with ups and downs, confusion, self-doubt, and moments of clarity. Writing about teenagers, their conflicts, and how they face the world is something I’m deeply passionate about. It’s not just about their struggles, but about how they find strength within themselves to face them. This is just the beginning of my journey as a writer. I hope to write many more novels that dive deeper into the complexities of life, relationships, and self-discovery. The teenage years will always be at the heart of my stories because that’s where I see so much of life happening—the messy, complicated, yet beautiful part of growing up. Thank you for reading Vida De Un Adolescente. It means the world to me. I hope these stories have touched you in some way, as they have been a part of me for so long.
