Rana grew up in Sweden, in a home shadowed by her mother's alcohol addiction and a lack of affection. Feeling isolated, she found solace and unconditional love at a local dog shelter, where caring for animals became her refuge and a source of quiet joy. Her love for dogs gave her a sense of purpose, and for a time, it was the only place she could breathe freely.
But life eventually called her back to Turkey, where she had to confront the emotional scars of her past and navigate the complex dynamics of her family. Here, she meets Kerem, whose charm and intensity awaken emotions she had long buried. Through these relationships, Rana learns about love, trust, and betrayal, discovering that while shadows from the past can leave deep marks, they can also teach resilience.
"Between Shadows and Sunlight" is a journey of self-discovery, healing, and the transformative power of love, showing how connection-with family, friends, animals, and oneself-can illuminate even the darkest corners of life.

The Shadow of Comparison
"Growing up in someone else's shadow taught me one thing: finding myself was the hardest-and most beautiful-journey of all." School was supposed to be easy-a place to learn, laugh, and grow. But for her, it quickly became anything but simple. 🌿 Everyone around her seemed brighter, bolder, better. Every whispered compliment, every small success she didn't have, made her question herself. Slowly, the shadow of comparison began to follow her everywhere. Then college arrived-bigger, more dazzling, and full of surprises she never saw coming. Friendships that challenged her, choices that tested her, and moments that made her heart ache in ways she didn't expect. Could she navigate this new world without losing herself? From quiet school corridors to late-night reflections, from self-doubt to self-discovery, this story is about growing up, facing unexpected twists, and finding the courage to step out of the shadows. If you loved "The Goodbye We Never Said," you'll recognize the familiar struggles and heartfelt moments-and maybe even find yourself rooting for her as she learns to shine in her own light.Завершенная история

In Love With Blindfolds On
I gave the best of myself to someone who didn't have anything to lose. I didn't know how to avoid my lover's toxic and abusive flames. My lover's twisted words were like a maze inside of my head that I couldn't escape. Sadly, my lover's actions hypnotized my thoughts and paralyzed my thinking. I learned the hard way that love isn't leaning in for a kiss, and a fist meets you halfway. Love isn't being a punching bag because someone decided they wanted to beat on you today. Love isn't saying I love you just because someone wants to keep you to themselves. I tried to be there for my lover, but I learned it is impossible to fix the broken pieces when the glass has shattered. There will always be pieces that are not repairable. However, I kept going right back to the person who I needed to walk away from. I was afraid, and I wasn't brave enough to wake up from this nightmare! I made the choice to suffer when life is meant to be lived and enjoyed. Will I find the courage to know my worth and know that I deserve better than the distasteful lies that are whispered in my ears? Will I have the strength to fight my insecurities? Will, I set myself free, or will I let my love be the death of me?Завершенная история
