The Heart's Journey by Dominion_12

In a world where love and loss intertwine like the vibrant threads of a tapestry, Sam finds himself caught between two homes. After being uprooted from his familiar life in America, he embarks on a journey to Nigeria-a land rich with culture, untold stories, and unforeseen challenges. As he grapples with the heartbreak of leaving behind his friends, especially Bliss, whose silence echoes in his heart, Sam must navigate the complexities of a new life where friendship, rivalry, and the whispers of unrequited love beckon. In Nigeria, he encounters Julius, a charismatic local who introduces him to the thrill of adventure and the warmth of companionship. But as Sam struggles to carve out his identity in this foreign land, he realizes that not everyone is as welcoming as they seem. With the weight of his past and the uncertainty of his future pressing down on him, Sam must learn to trust his instincts, confront his fears, and discover the true meaning of love. Join Sam on this emotional rollercoaster as he navigates friendships, fights his inner demons, and discovers that sometimes the path to finding oneself is paved with unexpected turns and breathtaking moments. Will he be able to embrace the love waiting for him in Nigeria, or will his heart remain tethered to the memories he left behind? The answer lies in the vibrant streets of Anambra, where every moment holds the promise of new beginnings.

Life is like a rollercoaster, it has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride... When life's rollercoaster throws you off track, do you scream, or do you hold on tight? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth: one suffocating under the weight of failure, the other nursing a heart shattered into pieces. Two strangers caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. But if their paths converge-bringing their emotions and differences-will they find solace in each other, or will those very differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ GENRES: General Fiction · Literary Fiction · Contemporary · New Adult ⚠️ Disclaimer: This story is a work of imagination, entirely original and fictional.

Yours truly, RosePoet Note: First, I would like to apologize for suddenly editing my poems and deleting the borders. You see, I have realized that some poems happen to appear blurry due to the borders. So in order to fix that issue, I have decided to delete the borders. For those who liked my poems with the borders you can still find them in my pinterest account. So I hope this solves some issues and I hope ya'll have a great day.
