Admiring the Light
Friendless and timid, Guinevere is stuck in her socially anxious shadow, content to let her sister lead and live a sheltered life. Without Natalie pushing her to break out of her comfort zone, she'd be trapped in fear. The world is scary, even her own family conflicts terrify her; she needs Natalie's support. But what happens when Natalie, her big sister, her mentor and only real friend, suddenly can't be there for every moment of her life? Lola, raised to be a hardworking farmer, when all she wants is a bit of agency over her life, the freedom to do what she wants. And yet, she is perfectly willing to let Natalie handle conversations for her. For as much as she wants to be free, she wouldn't know what to do with herself, get meticulously caught up in planning the details and never end up doing anything. And Natalie, who has no personal desires, simply living in moments and finding the best in whatever is going on. Freely engaging with her friends and helping them, as she lacks her own internal drive, the self awareness to know what she wants. After a long childhood struggle with her self esteem and valuing herself, that has become what she "needs," her coping strategy with rough situations. Being complacent with what happens to her and simply accepting, with no real goals of her own, no idea that her friends are just as directionless as she is. When health complications arise for her, and her friend group is falling apart around her as she can't guide them, she'll have to ask the essential questions that she can't simply answer in a quick sentence. The questions that she has long dismissed as unimportant. Is this what she truly wants, to be solely fulfilled by everyone else depending on her for support? And where does she draw the line?

Long overdue
"Do others also have a crush they obsess over for four years, even when he completely ignores them? Probably not... at least not if they're sane." Natalie is thrilled to finally leave high school behind and start a new chapter in her life. She promises herself she won't be the same dumb teenager, obsessing over boys-specifically, one tall basketball player who never even spared her a glance. What began as an intense crush had slowly twisted into self-doubt and resentment over the years, as each ignored glance chipped away at her confidence. Now, she vows to cherish herself more, to be confident, and to never change for anyone else's approval. But what happens when the same guy she grew to hate, after four years of trying and failing to get his attention, ends up at the same university and, for the first time, calls her name?
