I'm Lena, a 23-year-old female who's been through her fair share of life struggles. Growing up, I was always the quiet type, often lost in my thoughts and daydreams. My parents were high school sweethearts who got married young and had me when they were still in their early twenties. They worked hard to provide for our family but struggled financially, which left a lasting impact on me.

As I grew older, I began to feel the weight of their struggles more intensely. My parents' relationship became strained due to the financial stress, and it took a toll on my own mental health. I often found myself withdrawing into my shell, feeling anxious about my own future and whether or not I'd be able to make a better life for myself.

But despite all these challenges, I managed to find solace in art and music. I started writing poetry as a way to express myself and process my emotions, which eventually led me to pursue a degree in creative writing. Now, I'm working towards publishing my first book of poetry while also teaching English literature at a local college.

Now, tell me about yourself! What's your story?
