Hello... Minami here. Or, well, this is my story. Before you step into my days at Meisei Magic Academy, I wanted to share something. My life... it has its bright moments, small joys, and the quiet hum of magic I'm only just starting to understand through my hands.
But it also holds shadows. I carry the weight of unspoken words, the sting of unkindness, and a mind that sometimes feels like a turbulent sea. You'll read about my struggles with feeling like a burden, my battles with deep sadness and scary thoughts, and how hard it can be to feel like I belong when the world doesn't always hear me.
This story is very personal, and it touches on bullying, my experiences being deaf, and some really tough feelings like depression and the fear of being left alone. If these are things that might be hard for you to read about, please take care of yourself.
I hope that by sharing my story, maybe... maybe there's some understanding to be found. Thank you for reading.
