When your dream turns your world upside down, would you still pursue it?

Tala Jean Serrano is an aspiring servant leader who only wants a better future for her country. Running for office has been her dream since she was a kid. She even pursued a Bachelor of Public Administration in college to better understand how the government works and how to serve people. When she won as SK Chairman, her world revolved around her studies and serving the youth in her barangay. Then, a man who is an Economics student, good at public speaking and with dimples, caught her attention.

However, upon learning that Valerio Luan Aguadilla comes from a political family, she immediately hated admiring him. Unfortunately, the world seemed to be making fun of her. Instead of distancing herself from him, she admired him even more, despite her dislike for his family background.

As their romantic connections deepened, her life turned upside down before they even became official. Tala never imagined that standing up for the people around her would lead to such turmoil.

From "I want to be a servant leader," she never thought she would one day say, "I wish that dream had never crossed my mind."All Rights Reserved

The Stars Aligned by lipstickchateaux

"It was love at first sight, at last sight, at ever and ever sight." Dolores Severina Quirino believed in the saying that, "The happiest people in the world are those who are delusional." She thought that she was already crazy when she tried to manifest her admission to college before. She wasn't aware that her life could get even more exciting than that, especially when she reconnects with her ghoster and her high school crush, who never really paid attention to her before. Her boring life suddenly became full of adventures as she experienced each of her first times by navigating through her new reality with her stupid decisions. And the more that she acts contrary to her rational self, the more she realizes that her feelings run deeper as she submerges in these repressed emotions. It was the first time she met someone who could understand and accept her without the need for words. At the same time, as she willingly peels off layers and layers of the facade that she usually puts on, she begins to doubt whether her connections with others were just sophistically crafted illusions.

Serenades Of The Sea ( Serenades Duology 1 ) by WordsOfYesh

SERENADES DUOLOGY 1 Sereia Kyria Velasquez-her name alone turned heads. Graduated as class Valedictorian in both Junior and Senior High, now pursuing Law in the States. To the world, she was the full package: beauty, brains, and a life straight out of a dream. An active social media presence only fueled the illusion-her feed filled with curated aesthetics, campus snaps, coffee shop corners, and captions that glowed with positivity. She was, in every sense, the girl everyone wanted to be. But beyond the perfectly filtered photos and top-tier achievements was a world far different from what most could imagine. Behind the screen was a young woman carrying silent battles-ones that echoed through the quiet halls of her home. Battles that never made it to her Instagram stories. The weight of expectations, unspoken family struggles, and the burden of pretending everything was fine when nothing truly was. Thankfully, Sereia wasn't entirely alone. Lawrence Matthew Melendez-her best friend and, as people liked to joke, her "best man"-had always been by her side. They were classmates, seatmates, partners in every school project, and now, both students at UP, navigating the pressures of university life together. Through every sunny day and every stormy night, Lawrence was her constant-a quiet comfort, a loyal anchor in a life that sometimes felt like it was drifting too far from shore. But would their friendship last? That was the question that lingered in the spaces between their laughter, the quiet stares that lasted a little too long, and the comfort that started to feel more like longing. What if the unfamiliar feeling blooming between them-slowly, quietly, stubbornly-was the very thing that would unravel everything they built? Would one confession tear down years of companionship?
