"Not being enough" - it's one of the most damaging beliefs a person can carry. It's a cruel echo, hard to forget, impossible to ignore, and even harder to erase from your mind. It's the weight you bear, the pain you endure, all in the desperate hope of hearing that you're finally enough. But no matter what you do, they still make you feel like you're not.
Liana Florin Perez was once a girl filled with hope, driven by dreams, ignited by passion, and determined to pursue the future she envisioned, even without the support of her parent. She stood tall, fueled by courage and a quiet belief in herself. But behind the brave face and her carefully built dreams, the walls she once thought were strong are beginning to crack... and the ground beneath her is starting to crumble.
She thought no one could hear her silent pleas, no one could save her from the weight she carried. But fate had its own plans. Caelum Haru Rivera wasn't searching for her, yet somehow, he found her-and nothing was ever the same.

A Sky of My Own
Elara has always felt like she's standing on the edge of the world-watching life pass by, never fully part of it. When everything familiar begins to fall apart, she finds herself drawn to the mountains, where the skies are wide and no one expects her to pretend she's okay. Surrounded by wildflowers and quiet winds, Elara begins to confront the parts of herself she's long kept hidden-grief, loneliness, and the quiet hope for something more. For the first time, she lets herself pause, breathe, and ask: Who am I, when I'm finally just... me? In that stillness, she begins to heal-not by becoming someone new, but by embracing who she's always been. And as she lets go of who she thought she had to be, Elara finally learns what it means to belong... to herself. ~~~ Date Started: May 08, 2025 Date Finished: May 14, 2025Complete
