Modern dating taught me one thing: don't expect anything lol. This isn't exactly a love story though. It's more like the story of how a girl from a small city ended up navigating messy relationships, questionable life decisions, family drama, depression, and the chaos of trying to become an adult. Basically... my twenties. There were heartbreaks, situationships, stupid choices, and a lot of "what the hell am I doing with my life" moments. And somewhere in between all that chaos, someone eventually walks into my life. But relax, that part comes later haha. For now, this story is just about the mess that happens before life finally starts making sense. PS: This is my story.

The intimacy we loved became the tragedy to be obsessed with. The shades of being attached was too thin to differentiate whether it's just love or the lust lingering between the souls. Running to the same person who sucked your soul as if they own it and despise it when it comes to topic of loving it, ironic right?! but that's what this modern generation has been running into! can we untangle the mess these two souls pulled?! will the 17th of December bring rejoice or demise that no one asked for?! but that's the beauty of love right?!

Aarav and Meera never planned for forever. At 29, they were just two people casually navigating modern love-swiping right, dodging commitment, and avoiding the dreaded "so where is this going?" conversation. But fate had other plans. What started as something light and effortless became something deeper, something scarier. Soon, late-night texts turned into silent arguments, inside jokes turned into unspoken fears, and the question they had spent years avoiding became impossible to ignore. Love isn't just about falling. It's about staying. Through emotional distance. Through the mess of everyday life. Through the quiet doubts that creep in when the honeymoon fades. Aarav and Meera have a choice-fight for what they have or let it slip into the "almost" pile of their past. But love, like life, is never that simple.
