Shariandra Ylanna Toledo
The Dreamers Series #1
--
Shariandra Ylanna Toledo has been that girl. The girl everyone knows. That one person you see on posted articles and tarpaulins. The name you'd hear everywhere, the girl you'd be curious about because she's everywhere.
But despite her name traveling to different places, a certain longing haunts her heart-she craves the attention of the people she actually loves.
Despite excelling in different fields, she'd always feel under-
Underappreciated.
Undervalued.
Unseen by the very eyes she silently seeks approval from.
It was easy to earn applause from strangers, but never from her own.
That longing turned into ashes of pretensions,
That seeking turned into ashes of validations,
And that yearning, eventually, turned into ashes of desperation.
She surrendered her pieces to the world,
In hopes that it would sync with her soul, yet-nothing ever changed.
Until someone notices her. Without pretensions. Without trying. Without yearning.
The glances stayed like a call never wanting to end.
And from there, on broken pavements, she found what's worth.
That even in ashes, they synced.
