Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
11 parts Ongoing Fifty-one rejections. Fifty-one times my heart was broken, including the girl I thought I'd never stop loving. After that, I swore I'd never fall for anyone again. Love became a game I refused to play - every smile, every kind gesture from a girl felt like a trap.
Years passed. College came. I buried myself in studies, friends, and distractions, building walls so high no one could reach me. Until she appeared.
Aya. Gentle, patient, and fearless in ways I hadn't known existed. She didn't chase me, didn't push. She simply stayed - quietly, persistently, until I realized the walls I'd built were trembling.
But trust doesn't come easy. Fear lingers. Past heartbreaks echo. Can I let myself be vulnerable again? Or will my own walls keep me from the love I've always wanted?
A slow-burn story of heartbreak, self-discovery, and the courage it takes to let someone in - even when you've sworn you never will.
