I don't remember the exact day we became "us." All I remember is that we started as strangers- different benches, different lives, different versions of broken. Seven girls. Completely different. Too loud, too emotional, too complicated. And somewhere between shared tiffins, random fights, jealousy, secrets, and late-night conversations... We became inseparable. Four years. One friendship. Endless memories. From school corridors filled with gossip, crushes, pressure, and laughter... to silent battles of expectations, growing up too fast, and becoming people we never thought we'd be. We weren't perfect. We fought. We misunderstood. We hurt each other. But we stayed. And sometimes... staying is the hardest part. Because not everything that feels like forever... actually stays. Now, life has taken us in different directions-different cities, different dreams. But some memories? They never really leave. This is not just a story about friendship. This is our story. The story of When We Were Almost Adults.

💌 Everyone admired Gren and Dax-the perfect couple who seemed destined to stay together forever. While Dax was ambitious and focused on building a future, Gren lived carefree, believing love alone was enough to survive anything. But when tragedy suddenly destroys Gren's family, life forces her to grow up too fast. Responsibilities replace dreams, missed calls replace conversations, and slowly, the two people who once couldn't live without each other begin drifting apart. Years later, fate brings them together again at a grand event, only for Gren to discover that some love stories don't end because the feelings disappear-but because life changes the people holding them. The Love We Had is an emotional story about first love, heartbreak, timing, sacrifice, and the painful truth that sometimes two people can love each other deeply and still not belong together.

Three days after heartbreak, Loriah Griego has officially given up on love. Okay, maybe not forever. Just long enough to focus on herself. After one too many failed relationships and enough red flags to start her own parade, Loriah is determined to spend her time focusing on work, church, friends, and the life she's building for herself. No dating. No crushes. No overthinking. Simple. At least, that was the plan. Then a coworker casually informs her that a guy named Juan has a crush on her. A shy guy. A sweet guy. A guy who is, unfortunately, exactly her type. What follows is a whirlwind of awkward conversations, lingering smiles, broken phones, late-night texts, workplace butterflies, and more overthinking than should be legally allowed. As Loriah navigates heartbreak, healing, faith, friendship, and the possibility of something new, she discovers that some of life's best stories begin when everything seems to be falling apart. Filled with humor, heart, honest reflections, and unforgettable moments, The Juan Chronicles is a story about trusting God's timing, learning to be patient, and finding hope in the most unexpected places. Because sometimes the chapter you never planned for becomes the one that changes everything.
