I didn't break. I performed. I starved in silence. I smiled through panic. And I turned every bruise into art. This is not a pretty story. It's raw. Unfiltered. Feral. It's six girls in a dorm. No food. No peace. No help. It's me - writing my way out of the dark while everyone else partied and pretended. It's the boy who kissed me with lies. The night I met a Mafioso with cocaine on a car plate. The fish I saved from dying just so something in the room could live. The corsets I now wear like armor - because softness got me nowhere. This book isn't about surviving the world. It's about surviving me. If you've ever: Starved quietly while looking perfect Loved someone who tore you apart Laughed when you should've screamed Written things you'd never dare to say out loud This story is yours too. Read if you dare. But don't expect a happy ending. Expect fire. And the woman I became when I walked through it.

Not April. Not him. But her. This is a story about the quiet, stubborn, real way a girl becomes someone new - not when something begins, but when something ends. It happened in April - the month when everything should've bloomed. But instead, something broke.

When Anita's mother dies, the heart monitor flattens into a straight line - a line her mother could never draw. That moment changes everything. At sixteen, Anita becomes the mother of three siblings in the soot-stained city of Port Harcourt. While other girls dream of school and love, she learns to trade both for survival - selling zobo by the roadside, burying her tears beneath duty. Life takes more than it gives: her father, her dreams, her body, her freedom. When a boy named Kenneth offers her a glimpse of tenderness, it feels almost like healing - until loss returns, sharper than before. From the farms of the village to the glittering loneliness of the city, Anita's life becomes a series of choices made in the dark, each one carving her into someone she never planned to be. In Straight Lines, I tell a story of womanhood, survival, and the cruel poetry of fate - where love comes too late, and the lines we draw to hold ourselves together don't always stay straight. #1 rightpersonwrongtime - Jan 6th, 2026 #1 teenagehood - Jan 6th, 2026 Started: 29th October, 2025 Ended: ... #JusticeforOchanya
