They all said it gets better

They all said it gets better.
But no one talks about the middle—the slow days, the spiral years, the quiet kind of progress that doesn't show up in milestones.

This book is a reflection on what it means to grow up without a map. It explores the pressure to be okay, the ache of comparison, the myth of momentum, and the silent strength it takes to keep going when nothing feels certain.

This book offers gentle truths about becoming. Not fixing. Not arriving. Just staying—with yourself, your story, your becoming.

For anyone navigating the in-between, this is a reminder:
You’re not behind.
You’re just becoming.
