Imagine finding your passion at a young age, only to have it crushed by the people who are supposed to support you the most. That's what happened to one young writer, who started penning stories about their guinea pig superhero at just 5 years old. As they grew older, their love for writing blossomed, but so did their parents' overbearing involvement. 😕✍️
