Soul-journey Stories

━━━━ • ✿ • ━━━━ "What if Heaven hears the longings of the heart?" ━━━━ • ✿ • ━━━━ Celia is an artist-passionate, haunted, and often lost in the chaos of her own mind. She pours her fears and desires onto canvases, believing she's too flawed to be loved. Marcelo is an engineer with the heart of an architect-driven by dreams of building something meaningful, yet burdened by the need to fix what's broken. When their paths cross, love is anything but simple. Together, they face the daunting realities of their crafts-creation, destruction, and the fear of imperfection. As they struggle with identity, purpose, and the pressure to succeed, they realize that love isn't just about finding each other-it's about accepting their own broken pieces. But when insecurities and unspoken dreams threaten to tear them apart, they must ask themselves: Can love survive when two souls are still learning to heal? And if they lose each other along the way, will they ever find their way back?

"You're not a burden," he said. "OK," I said, again, trying to play it off like I didn't care. I wasn't sure how much longer I could keep up the façade. I could feel the tears banging against the barricade just behind my eyelids, the sobs clawing at the walls of my throat... they were demanding to be let out. "Don't shut me out," he begged in a desperate whisper. *** If only the guys in Ivy's life could be as in love with her as she is with them. Ever the tomboy to keep herself from getting hurt, Ivy knows it's safer to yearn from afar than it is to love up-close. What happens when a new guy shows up at her high school and starts to treat her as more than a friend? What happens when she goes off to college? Will she be liberated? Loved? Or is she condemned to a life on the sidelines, always the buddy, never THAT GIRL?

Short fictional story about the bond between souls in the spiritual journey we are all part of.
