Becoming Her #2 They say strength is admirable. But what if being strong is the only way you've ever been allowed to survive? There this girl Kara Monteverde. She didn't learn to hide her pain from strangers. She learned it from her family every time they expected her to hold everything together. From the years she carried the weight of keeping the peace, even when it broke her. Her worth was measured in how much she could give. But someday, she wants to believe she's enough even when she stops giving. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. Someday. Then Elijah Rome Sarmiento walks back into her life. Quiet, distant, mysterious. The boy who once made her feel small... now the man who makes space for her to breathe. And with that, maybe he's the reason why Kara starts loving herself louder than anyone.

Becoming Her #1 They say love starts at home. But what if home is where you learned first to hate yourself? There is this girl, Mariana "Yanna" Dela Cruz She didn't learn to hate her face from others. She learned it from her father's words every time he looked at her. "dirty," "lazy," From all the times she cried in the empty room, nobody knocked not even once. Her pimples aren't the problem. What is the real problem? But someday, she wants to believe in herself, too. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. Someday But just when she's convinced no one could ever look past her skin... but he does. Javier "Javi" Ramirez is loud, messy, and kind in a way that feels not serious in life. He sits beside her like she belongs. He talks to her like she matters. He smiles like he doesn't see what everyone else does. And with that, maybe he's the reason why Yanna likes herself better than anyone.
