"Sometimes I forget what it means to breathe,
is it the act of inhaling a breath
or is it realizing when it's time to let it go.
Let it go,
only to have to grasp at another inhale again.
And then,
I'm trapped,
in this repetitive cycle
where breathing wants to become
an option rather than a need.
And then,
I'm breathing,
actually breathing,
all while feeling like I never took a breath."
Addison Davis, stuck in a world filled with the past, a present that doesn't let her forget, and a yearning for a future she doesn't understand yet.

Through Another Life, I Loved You
In a world where love transcends life itself, a girl experiences the deepest bond with her girlfriend, sharing sweet moments and innocent laughter. But a single misunderstanding spirals into silence, heartbreak, and tragedy, tearing them apart in a way that feels final. Death, reincarnation, and the cruel twist of fate bring a second chance-yet in a body that cannot claim the same love, the heartache lingers. Through observing her from afar, hidden in plain sight as someone she could never love, the protagonist endures two years of longing, devotion, and unseen sacrifice. Every glance, every gesture is filled with the echo of a love that cannot be spoken aloud, a love that can only exist in shadow. And when the truth finally emerges, it shatters what remains, leaving a haunting realization: some loves are destined to be felt, never fully held. Through another life, through loss, through the cruel hands of fate, the story of a love unbroken yet unreachable unfolds-a love that, even in reincarnation, cannot find its ending.Complete
