The kindred heart:Love after trauma by astraythepen

In a world where words can heal and images can capture the truth, two lost souls collide in an unlikely encounter. Kenney, a young poet whose heart has been shattered by the weight of unrequited love, spends his days pouring his emotions into verses that no one hears. His words are both his refuge and his prison, a fragile connection to a world that once promised him hope but left him broken. Love has betrayed him, and now, all he knows is the quiet pain of longing and the impossible task of mending his heart through poetry. Quinn, a talented photographer, has a sharp eye for beauty-but it's the dark side of humanity she captures. She's spent years hiding from the lustful gazes of men, the raw desire in their eyes making her skin crawl. To her, love seems tainted by obsession, and she's sworn to protect herself from its destructive forces. But in her lens, she sees the raw truth of people's souls-without the masks they wear for the world. When their paths cross, a connection forms that neither expected. For Kenney, Quinn becomes the sunlight he never knew he needed, a force that slowly uncovers the dark corners of his world. Her quiet strength and unspoken understanding illuminate his poetry, allowing him to see the beauty in his own pain again. In Quinn's presence, he feels a glimmer of hope-a light that chases away the shadows of his broken heart. Together, they navigate their wounds-one through his delicate poetry, the other through her evocative photographs-searching for healing in the aftermath of pain. But love, once lost, is never easy to reclaim, and in their fragile bond, the line between healing and hurting becomes more blurred with every shared moment. "The Kindred Heart" is a poignant exploration of the scars that love leaves behind, the courage it takes to trust again, and the healing that only comes when you dare to see someone for who they truly are.

Songs and Memories (gxg) by Euphoria521610

"Who said memories are only captured in photographs? Some special songs do that too." ~Neha Joshi "Music, at its essence, is what gives us memories. And the longer a song has existed in our lives, the more memories we have of it." ~Stevie Wonder "A song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place or even a person. That one song stays the same, just like that moment." ~Sarah Dessen "Each memory has a soundtrack of its own." ~Unknown Demi and Bella, once college rivals, have shared a passionate, transformative love for three years. Their relationship blossomed from fierce enemies into inseparable lovers who weathered the storms of college life. But after graduating, Bella begins to feel a shift. The fire between them feels distant, replaced by an undercurrent of tension as their lives drift in separate directions-Demi's demanding career as an architect and Bella's focus on building her dream rehab center. Each song their stories shared now reminds of the bittersweet memories of love, pain, and longing. As their love hangs in the balance, they both reflect on whether they can rekindle what they once had or if the echoes of their past are all that remain. Playing the song from the title adds an additional vibe while reading each chapters too. ☺️
