I am Sonakshi, a 14-year-old student at ELC International School. I have always loved writing since I was in kindergarten. Writing is my escape, a refuge from a less-than- happy reality where I often feel like I don’t fit in. Cherry Blossom Carnage, crafted in December 2023, and was born from my constant daydreams, a world I constantly envisioned myself to be in.
