Yourself

    By @divinekazi
    The "golden boy" title feels like a gilded cage. Sure, you're prom king, but the pressure to be perfect is suffocating. Every move is scrutinized, friends feel one-sided, and everyone expects a trophy, not a person. The fear of letting them down is paralyzing. You watch real connections blossom from the sidelines, yearning for a chance to be yourself, flaws and all. The crown might shine, but beneath it, you crave normalcy.
