Where the Brave Hearts Bleed

In a country where the poor are expected to endure while the powerful continue to prosper, Vienna grew up believing that survival always came with sacrifice.

She compromised his dreams for responsibility. Her youth for resistance. Her peace for a voice that refused to be silenced. Every step forward was met with discrimination, violence, and the constant threat of being branded an enemy-not because she had committed a crime, but because she dared to question those who did.

Vienna learned that fighting wasn't a choice- it was the only way people like him could exist with dignity.

But the streets were never the only battlefield.

Even love demanded a fight.

Because in a society built on power, privilege, and inequality, some people are born with the freedom to love, while others have to earn the right to be loved at all.

"Because love is never free- and loving you was a privilege the world had already decided I would never deserve.

Hindi sapat na mahal kita. Dahil sa mundong lahat ay politikal, ang mahal mahalin ka."
