Akala ko, admiration lang. Girl crush. Normal lang naman magkagirl crush diba? Pero bakit hindi ko siya kayang kalimutan? Samantha grew up knowing what was right: girls love boys, prayers fix everything, and feelings that don't fit the mold should be buried deep. But then came Andrea-morena and soft brown curls. Eyes that felt like golden hour. A laugh that made the world quieter. A presence so effortless, it was disarming. This isn't the kind of love the world talks about. This isn't the kind of girl she's allowed to want. But it's the only kind that's ever felt real. Halos is a tender, unflinching portrait of a girl pulled between faith and feeling, shame and truth. A story about the dizzying joy of queer love-and the quiet, brutal ache of trying to erase it. It's about hiding behind "admiration," behind silence, behind what's expected-until one day, you can't anymore. For anyone who's ever asked: "Is it wrong to want this?" "Or is it just wrong to be me?"
