The Chaos of Craving Everything All at Once is the heartfelt story of Camila, a 26-year-old Hispanic single mother of two, struggling to balance the pressures of motherhood while dealing with depression, anxiety, and PTSD. Stuck in a job she despises, Camila dreams of a future that seems out of reach. She craves love, connection, and a deeper sense of self, but insecurities about her body and self-worth weigh heavily on her. Camila finds herself torn between two men, both battling their own insecurities. John, a 23-year-old Japanese man working in finance, is charming but emotionally distant. His insecurities about his height and slender frame, along with his materialistic lifestyle, draw Camila in, but his avoidant tendencies leave her questioning if he's truly capable of offering the emotional connection she craves. On the other side is Isaac, her best friend and emotional anchor, a 26-year-old Hispanic man and single dad. Shy and self-conscious about his slim build, Isaac offers Camila stability and quiet strength, even though he doesn't always express his emotions openly. His unwavering presence in her life contrasts with John's aloofness, and Camila is caught between the excitement of new romance and the comfort of familiarity. As Camila navigates single motherhood, dating, and the weight of her mental health struggles, she begins to question if the love she's been chasing is what she truly needs. Her body image insecurities complicate her relationships with both men, who are also grappling with their own vulnerabilities. In this journey of messy romance and self-discovery, Camila realizes that the love she seeks might not come from someone else but from within. In the end, she must decide if what she craves will heal her or if it's time to take control and rewrite her own story. All Rights Reserved

But that's not the point, the point is that it's bad and that's all you need to know... for the time being anyway. I'm a loner and nobody in school likes me, they don't talk to me and when they do it's to make fun of me, but I guess that's life. I have to live with it. And I will until now... My past is dark. My future is uncertain. (Written with @BrittanyH18) (Cover made by me)
