"I Drew Her Because I Couldn’t Be Her" is the story of Ari, a quiet girl who sketched a character named Mika during math class — bold, fearless, and everything Ari wished she could be.

In this episode, I share a quiet story about working retail while holding onto dreams no one sees. Through the eyes of “Kayla,” an online shopper weaving between aisles and scanner beeps, we explore what it feels like to be overlooked—but not empty.

I read two short chapters from that childhood creation and reflect on what writing meant to me back then.
