This is not a traditional manual! It doesn't come with the promise that it will help you heal your broken heart overnight or that it will decrease your pain chapter by chapter until in the end you feel completely healed. If that was your intention I don't want to disappoint you. The idea of ​​this book is to help you get through your sadness. To help you think and understand how to experience this moment that must be very very difficult for you right now and tell you that you are definitely not alone. Each one faces the end of a relationship in a different way and no matter what the way you choose to go through yours, that is your moment and you should do things your way and in your time. Of course, if it can be in a slightly lighter and with a bit of fun it's better and that's why this book is here. I would like to remind you at this point that we are all human beings, that we have rights to have feelings and that because you are reading this book it doesn't mean you are out of control or desperate. We all have ups and downs and during these times we sometimes need a friend to talk to. Here you will find a sincere story of who also suffered for a broken heart - and is still suffering while writing this description - and that would just like to have a sincere talk on this subject. You have the complete freedom to agree or not with the points of view that are approached, like when you are chatting with your friends, only the difference is that you will do it in the silence of your house while lying on the bed or on the sofa, on your work table, on the bus going  home...

"If you love me, you won't leave me." Jessie has believed those words from her boyfriend, Josh, since senior year of high school. She loves him and doesn't want to leave him. Not even when he shouts at her and hits her. Jessie's best friend, Kolleen, can't stand seeing her in that situation. With a bit of convincing - and the worst beating she'd ever received - Jessie agrees to move into an apartment with Kolleen. But not long after, Jessie is scared the worst of her nightmares will soon become a reality. Josh goes missing, and suddenly Jessie would swear she's being followed. One night changes everything, and one person soon changes Jessie's outlook. A responding officer from that fateful night begins to seek her out, at first claiming it's part of his job. As she spends time with her new friend outside of his job, she starts realizing that her feelings are evolving. After being abused for over a year, Jessie is terrified she's falling in love. What's even more terrifying is that he might be, too. She isn't ready for love. Not yet. She makes up her mind that if he is falling, and if he does love her, he'll wait for her to be ready, and if she loves him, she won't let herself hurt him. Can the words that used to cage her in really be the key to her freedom? --- Featured On: @NA: Take a seat and let it be | Mature Content and 18+ reading list @NA: You deserve the world | Mental Health reading list Ambys Top Picks New Adult 2023

As we go through life, we meet people who deeply touch our hearts and change us in meaningful ways. They leave lasting marks on our souls, transforming who we are. The footprints they leave behind guide us towards growth, ensuring we can never retrace our steps to the person we once were. And then, there was him. We found each other at the precise moment when our souls were ready to collide. Love enveloped us, and in his arms, I discovered a deep sense of belonging. Everything felt right, as if the universe had conspired to bring us together. But life has a way of unraveling even the most beautiful stories. In a cruel twist of fate, the ground beneath us began to crumble. The very thing that had given us hope and joy now carried the weight of our lives, feelings, and emotions, threatening to snatch them all away. The perfect illusion shattered, leaving behind broken fragments of what once was. He is the one who taught me how to love. But as I stand here engulfed in his absence, I realize he forgot to teach me the most crucial lesson of all-how to let go. The pain of holding onto his memory is unbearable, yet I would endure it all, for it's a bittersweet reminder of the love we shared. I'd trade my everything for just one more moment with him, for even a fleeting moment holds more joy than a lifetime without knowing him. ❁❁❁ This is Book 3 of my Botanical Novel Series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone book. I hope you enjoy the read, and if you can, please consider leaving a star and a comment. Thank you! ❁❁❁ 𝚃𝚑𝚒𝚜 𝚂𝚝𝚘𝚛𝚢 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝚠𝚘𝚛𝚔 𝚘𝚏 𝙵𝚒𝚌𝚝𝚒𝚘𝚗. 𝙿𝚕𝚊𝚐𝚒𝚊𝚛𝚒𝚜𝚖 𝚒𝚜 𝚊 𝙲𝚁𝙸𝙼𝙴! 𝙰𝙻𝙻 𝚁𝙸𝙶𝙷𝚃𝚂 𝚁𝙴𝚂𝙴𝚁𝚅𝙴𝙳.

There are stories that have endings and then there are the ones that refuse to close.This is one of those stories. This is not a love story-not in the way people expect. It is not the kind that wraps up neatly with a bow, not the kind that promises forever.It is a story of love, yes, but also of loss, of longing, of uncertainty. I have met her again. And I do not know what that means. Time passed, reshaping the love we once had into something unrecognizable. And now, here we are-two people who were once inseparable,now standing on opposite sides of something we cannot define.She asks if we can reintroduce ourselves. As if love, history and heartbreak can be rewritten with a simple hello. But how do you introduce yourself to someone who once knew you better than anyone?How do you explain who you have become when you are still figuring it out yourself?How do you stand in front of the one person who once made you believe in love and pretend you don't still feel it in your bones? This book is my answer. It is not just a reintroduction. It is an unraveling. A confession of the things I should have said, a reckoning with the things I did wrong, a desperate attempt to understand what love means when it no longer fits into the shape you once knew. It is a confrontation with my flaws, my mistakes, my fears.A deep dive into the parts of me that love could not save. This is not a story of reunion.It is a story of recognition.Of asking myself if I have truly changed, or if I am just learning how to carry my love differently. And in the end, maybe this is not just my story. Maybe this is your story too. Maybe you have loved and lost. Maybe you, too, have wondered if love can find its way back,or if it was never meant to return. So, allow me to introduce myself again. Not just to her, but to you.To the person I once was, to the person I have become, to the person I am still learning to be. I do not know where this story will end. But for now, this is where it begins.
