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. ---

Shoreside
This is a story about life, finding oneself in unfamiliar territory, losing those we love, staying together with those we love, growing up, hardship, and above all else, finding a way through. Stay strong, dear reader, there may be rough water ahead. **** It is important to note that there is disturbing content in this story. I am not a woman, and I do not presume to know all the hardships a woman may face. I do not intend this story to take away from real stories, nor do I intend to make myself seem somehow righteous in telling of the hardships of others, even in a fictional sense. I only wish to acknowledge the cruelty in this world, and the reality of the suffering of those who suffer, who are hurt, who are victims.Complete
