What Are You Most Passionate About?

Writing and sharing poetry about girls and women living in rural Nepal. When I write, I put my pain into words and share my reality. I feel my pain and troubles disappear into the page. Here, young people have many problems, and I want other girls and women to know that they are not alone.
