Glow up Series #12: Patches of Purity
Glow up Series #12
Eteri Rylnn Magallanes had always been captivated by the art of makeup, her heart set on becoming a supermodel someday. One day, that dream seemed to materialize out of thin air; an extraordinary opportunity that felt as if it were spun from enchantment. Yet, just as the glitter of success began to shine brightly, a shadow of doubt crept into her mind. How long could she hold onto this dream before it slipped away?
Eteri's journey through life with Vitiligo has been an arduous one. The relentless taunts from her peers, the stares of strangers, and the overwhelming sense of being set apart have all woven themselves into the fabric of her identity. Despite her achievements as an honor student, the weight of striving to be a library science student, the pressures of societal expectations and the strains within her family have begun to chip away at her self-esteem, casting a shadow over her once vibrant spirit.
She spent years trying to move on from her past, but then someone unexpected from those days showed up at her job, and everything she had built started to fall apart. It got even worse when she found herself being dragged into the spotlight just like he was.
Can two broken hearts help each other heal, or will the ghosts of their pasts pull them down?
