I didn't plan on falling in love with Chris.

I didn't plan on failing classes, sitting through awkward family dinners, or watching one of my best friends spiral into a mess I can't fix.

This isn't a story about neat solutions or happy-ever-afters. It's about good days that end too soon, bad days that feel too heavy, and the messy in-betweens when you're just trying to breathe.

There's no magic cure. No perfect answer. But maybe the real fix isn't about silencing the pain-it's about finding the people who make you want to keep going.
