Lighter than Air

équipe Series #1

Astraea Isleen Cohen

People expect Astraea's life to be happy and complete. But little do they know, she carries countless stories within her-different sides, perspectives, and colors.

Her life has many sides, each with its own perspective. Many views, both from others and herself-some bright, some dark. And colors, shades of black and light, blending into something complex and hard to understand, let alone love.

She thought this was simply what she had to go through.

Until she met the love she believed would stay and save her from drowning.

There was no doubt-he loved her dearly, and she loved him deeply. Together, they found their own meaning of love.

But life was unkind to them both. They fought hard. She battled her own demons while holding on to him, refusing to let go. But he fought for what he believed was right.

Then she realized-kahit gaano pa kahigpit ang kapit mo sa isang bagay na pilit kumakawala, it will always find a way to break free. Kung hindi man makawala sa higpit ng hawak mo, sugatan ka na lang para bitawan mo.

She was deeply hurt and traumatized. So was he.

Pareho silang nahihirapang huminga-so what was missing? Why?

Many questions lingered. Many remained unanswered. They had both made sacrifices, yet they kept asking themselves the same question:

"What is lighter than air?"
