Riley was never the kid anyone noticed in school-quiet, withdrawn, and content to stay in the background. But as an adult, she's determined to rewrite her story. Outgoing, charming, and eager to connect, Riley tries harder than ever to make friends, find love, and step into a life she once only watched from the sidelines. But transforming her past doesn't come without challenges, and Riley must learn that becoming someone new doesn't mean she has to lose who she really is.

Not My Fault
💔 Not My Fault - The Story of a Girl Who Forgot How to Breathe Serene doesn't speak unless spoken to. She says sorry before she says hello. She writes to someone she's never met - because that's the only place she feels safe. Home was never home. Love never looked like love. And survival meant disappearing, even in plain sight. But then, someone notices. He sees the flinches. The forced smiles. The fear in her breath. And for the first time in her life, someone doesn't look away. This isn't about a girl who falls in love. It's about a girl who finally learns she's not to blame. Not for the bruises. Not for the silence. Not for the hurt she never asked for. It's not her fault. Maybe... it was never her fault at all. A raw, soul-baring journey through abuse, healing, and the quiet kind of love that doesn't fix you - but sits beside you while you do.
