Heartache is an odd word.
It means "aching of the heart", sure, but what counts as 'aching'?
Pain?
But isn't heartache metaphorical?
Or maybe it's got to do with emotions?
Skye isn't sure, but she wants to find out.
-----
Skye sets out to discover heartache, and encounters Alex along the way.
Alex is interesting; they're unlike the boring people of the world who just follow the rules.
Alex asks questions, like Skye does.
They challenge the rules.
So maybe with Alex, Skye can have her question answered.

Cover made by @parnikalal, they're awesome, go follow them.
THAT'S AN ORDER.
You heard me.

Chambers of the Heart // Jake Kiszka
Pretending to be in love is probably easier than the real thing, right? Inspired by a request I got from @doodlingmoose on tumblr; I loved the idea so much and felt it could make a great series. The poem Josh's short film is based on is titled Triptych of the Heart by Catherine Sasanov [https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poets/catherine-sasanov].

More Than Words
He's guarded, the kind of man who keeps his heart locked behind walls no one has ever climbed. But the moment he heard her voice, something shifted. It wasn't love at first sight... it was love at first sound. A pull he couldn't explain. A certainty he didn't trust. She's always lived with her guard up too. Life has already broken her in the worst ways, leaving her convinced that some wounds never heal. Loving someone again was never part of her plan. But then she met him. With him, the fear faded. With him, she felt seen, loved, safe. For the first time in a long time, she let herself fall... fully, recklessly, purely. Two guarded hearts. One unexpected connection. And sometimes the most extraordinary love stories begin in the most unusual ways, with a voice, a spark, and the courage to believe in something More Than Words.
