"If the path vanishes, let the Light guide you home."
For Charlyn, the road to adulthood was paved with the echoes of a single name: Gio. From the innocent corridors of MPNAG to the high-stakes emotions of a graduation ballroom, their story was a delicate dance of "almosts" and "forever promises." He was the boy she cheered for from the bleachers, the protector she trusted on the rooftop, and the "only exception" she prayed would never leave.
But when the music stopped and the path they shared suddenly disappeared into years of silence and heartbreak, Charlyn was forced to face the most difficult question of her life: Who am I without him?
"Beyond the Horizon" is an intimate chronicle of a young woman's emotional and spiritual awakening. It follows the bittersweet evolution of a first love that was broken by the pride of youth and the shadows of a pandemic, only to be redeemed by a much higher calling. As Charlyn navigates the wreckage of a shattered July, she finds a new rhythm-one that leads her away from the stage of her past and into her destiny as an educator at PUP.
This is more than a memoir of a high school romance; it is a journey of redemption. It is a story about the courage it takes to stop holding onto a fading memory and start reaching for a bright, certain future. "Beyond the Horizon" reminds us that even when the heartbeat in the silence feels like grief, it is actually the sound of a soul coming back to life.
Because sometimes, the most beautiful part of the journey isn't the person you walk with, but the destination you finally reach on your own.
