Elara thought she had it all figured out- graduate, land a good job, and chase the future she had always dreamed of. But two years after finishing her degree, she finds herself stuck in a cycle of unanswered applications, well-meaning but suffocating family expectations, and the quiet fear that maybe she's not enough.
As she drifts through long days of job hunting and silent battles with self-doubt, Elara also struggles to keep up with the world outside-navigating friendships that seem to be moving forward without her, a long-time boyfriend who reassures her but can't fully understand, and the growing pressure to have an answer to "What's next?"
Dreams and Deadlines is a heartfelt journey through the in-between-the space between hope and disappointment, dreams and reality, expectations and self-discovery, and the delicate balancing act of love, ambition, and uncertainty.
