Findingyourworth Stories

Eira has spent her life feeling like she's never enough-not for her parents, not for her friends, and certainly not for herself. At home, she faces constant criticism; at school, she hides behind an invisible wall of insecurities. Every day feels like a battle she's destined to lose. But then someone unexpected steps into her life, and everything begins to change. Will this new connection be the key to breaking free from her past, or will her inner demons prove too powerful to overcome?

At twenty-seven, Aurora Elise Navarro has spent her life on the sidelines, tethered to the confines of a rare disease known as Still's Syndrome, a condition that limits her mobility and causes chronic pain. Aurora's world is small but richly layered-she spends her days painting dreamy landscapes inspired by places she's never seen, content to live vicariously through her art. But deep down, she aches for something more, something she believes she can never have: a life filled with passion, adventure, and love. Enter Lucas Adrian West, a thirty-two-year-old travel photographer whose own life is marked by a shadow he cannot escape. Still mourning the loss of his fiancée three years earlier, Lucas travels the globe to avoid confronting the loneliness that follows him wherever he goes. When Lucas stumbles upon Aurora's paintings in a small gallery in their shared hometown of Port Echo, he feels an inexplicable pull toward the artist behind them. What begins as an unlikely friendship blossoms into a transformative love story, but it is not without its challenges. Aurora must learn to trust that her illness doesn't define her worth, and Lucas must find the courage to embrace a future that doesn't include his past. Together, they embark on a journey to the French Riviera, where Aurora's paintings come to life, and both learn what it truly means to heal and let love in.

Its unrequited love, love seems nice to romanticize, but it isn't just that.
