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?"

I would bet none of you have ever had that dream summer that all of us want.... that summer where you meet a boy on the beach and go surfing even though you don't know how to surf. That summer where you look him in the eyes while he runs his fingers through your hair. That summer where you skateboard along empty streets at sunset and accidentally steal candy from a grocery store. Well, I didn't get that, but I got pretty close to it. Because for the summer I went to an island in the middle of nowhere so my dad could start up a new one of his businesses in his chain of stores. I went to the beach. And I met Royce... Royce was two years older than me and had the prettiest purplish eyes and blonde hair. He was the most charismatic person I'd ever met. Then shortly after me and Royce's first appearance we met Jack and Koa. It was amazing and I loved every second of it, until I realized that I had fallen for Royce. And he seemed to fall for me too! Until another girl came into the mix 𖣔 "Do you hate me or not Royce?" "I wish I never fucking spoke to you because god I hate you so fucking much for making me love you! It's your fucking fault! Fuck you!" "And do you love her?!" "Way more than I will ever love you." #5 in unrequited 12-3-2020 #2 in tearjerker 3-14-2021 #8 in unrequitedlove 5-15-2021Complete
