In Hallowed Sadness

Rhian sought the sort of normality her peers seem to thrive in. A few drinks at the bar with close friends, day trips to the bay, having friends to tag in photos on her social media. And yet, she has found herself utterly isolated. She's alone in a crowded room, dejected at family gatherings, distant at her own birthday party. She's found herself sabotaging her own good times. The deep, hollow, yet hallowed, feeling that fills her chest is the only way she knows she's alive; it's the only place she feels at home. At the ripe age of twenty-two, she decides to dive deeper into the meaning of life. Is something within her, something she can't control, holding her back? Or is it just herself, getting in her own way. A life-long enigma is going to be solved in the only way she knows how; through extreme experimentation and blind faith.
