We didn't plan the beginning. We definitely didn't plan the middle. And now the ending? It's just... static.
Anaya met Ruhan through a screen-dumb luck, bad timing, and a conversation that lasted way too long. One day they were strangers trading late-night voice notes. The next, she was on the back of his bike, heart racing faster than the engine.
They weren't supposed to matter this much to each other. But they did.
Now, everything's different. The texts feel colder. The silences stretch longer. And Anaya finds herself staring at his name, wondering when love turned into something they both keep avoiding.
Told between then and now, Love, Filtered is about two people who found something real too fast-and are still trying to figure out if it's worth holding on to... or finally letting go.

Echoes of Rejection: Learning to Love Again
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.
