Things were looking up for me. I had a family that cared, my mental health was improving, and I had faith that everything was going to work out. Take note of the past tense.
With my father getting out of prison early, everything that I've worked so hard to overcome floods back like a giant tidal wave. I barely survived the last tsunami. I don't think I can do it again.

"Where the Broken Hearts Learn to Breathe"
Description In a cruel world where love rarely stays, YN walks with trembling hands and quiet tears, hiding the wounds no one ever cared to see. Her parents gave her life but never warmth. Childhood became a battlefield, her heart the casualty. She grew up learning silence instead of comfort, fear instead of safety, shaking instead of smiling. Everyone left her, broke her, or betrayed her - until only one person remained. Taehyung. The boy with soft eyes and a trembling heart of his own. The boy who learned to hold her pain before he learned to hold his dreams. The boy who never let go - not even when she pushed him away, not even when the world tried to convince him she wasn't worth staying for. This is a story of two fragile souls woven together since childhood - one bruised by life, the other breaking from watching her break. A story of trembling breaths, panic attacks, late-night tears, healing steps so small yet so brave, and a love so gentle that it could melt even the coldest ache. Where suffering becomes softness. Where trauma becomes survival. Where love becomes a place to rest. Where two broken hearts learn - slowly, painfully, beautifully - to breathe again. ---

While tortured and held captive as a prisoner of war, she became my reason to keep breathing. The force that fueled my will to fight. To survive. When I woke after the rescue to discover the life I thought I was coming home to was but a figment of my imagination, hallucinations brought about by pain, desperation, and isolation... it nearly broke me. Fifteen years since I first lost her, at last, we have a second chance. Holding her in my arms, finally feeling the warmth of her skin as she melts under my touch, is like a dream. She and her two little girls are now as essential to my existence as the air I breathe. However, just as things start falling into place, the universe steps in, threatening to take it all away. I used to think that choosing her cost me everything I'd ever loved, but now I see that in choosing her and her children, I have the chance to reclaim all that I lost. They are my salvation.

Camp Where The Hell Are We? | ✓
Completed. ☼ " Her denial, that was like a dam holding back a flood of feeling, of sweet relief for desperate soil, holding back a flood it stood no chance against, as yet another crack formed with a strong wave that already knew it had won. On the other side Marley stood, watching her dam's inevitable, impending destruction - fearing, knowing, that quenching her aching thirst would be synonymous with drowning, would be synonymous with coming up for air, would be synonymous with surrendering to a force of nature that was beautiful in all its calm, but terrifying in all its chaos. He absentmindedly tucked a loose flyaway behind her ear. Right then. Another crack in her last line of defence. Another rolling back of a wave, gaining strength, beating against the tired concrete. Another overflow rolling above the wall, droplets racing to sink into her every vulnerable place. Another enigma - still being afraid, while watching the water, and feeling the ache " ☼ Praise for 'Camp Where The Hell Are We?'

Soft For Her
Delilah Grace Monroe has never belonged-not to a family, not to a home, and certainly not to a man. At 185 pounds, with thick thighs and a heart too soft for the world, she's spent her life being told she's too much. Too loud. Too heavy. Too broken. After escaping an abusive ex and the ghosts of foster care, Delilah lands in Ash Hollow-a dusty town ruled by the Iron Saints Motorcycle Club. She wants silence. Safety. A chance to breathe. What she finds is Maddoz "Saint" Barlowe, the club's cold, calculating president. He's older. Dangerous. Untouchable. But when it comes to Delilah, he's soft. Protective. Possessive in ways that terrify her-and thrill her. As Delilah begins to trust again, she discovers that not every man leaves. Not every family breaks. And sometimes, the most feared man in town is the only one who sees you clearly. This is a story of trauma, tenderness, and the kind of love that rebuilds you from the inside out.
