These are actually all separate short stories. They were never meant to be connected or continued. It just happened.
The first one was based on a dream, and shaped to symbolize my own childhood (between 6 and 16)
The second is about my first mature love, but obviously second to the first. As it turns out, he's ace, and had to tell me we could never be together. This was written during the weeks following the heart to heart.
The third was written about my female best friend. She is engaged to someone. But I don't feel right about it at all. It is a huge strain on our friendship.
The fourth was written during my engagement to a wonderful man.
The fifth was written after getting married, and realizing that my mental problems won't be disappearing just because I have a husband now.
The cliffs have come to symbolize major changes in my life that affect me and my relationships. I believe these would be even more moving if I could add visuals. If an artist happens upon these, and is also inspired, please DM me! I am currently looking for a colab partner to draw some of my stories.
