Veronica Bhat
Veronica (16) is a storyteller, someone who believes that emotions come more naturally to the human spirit than anything else in the world. An extrovert at heart, she’s always buzzing with energy; energy that she loves channelling into creating compelling characters, building worlds, and weaving stories that resonate.Those who can express themselves, she believes, are the ones who can weather the loudest storms, and she writes to be one of them. Now this story draws its inspiration from the quiet struggles of neurodivergent minds and the need to be seen in a world that often wants to “fix” what it doesn’t understand. Without giving too much away—This Time, We Choose is a haunting journey of identity, control, and choosing freedom, no matter the cost.
