Cynthia had always believed she knew what she wanted.
She thought she was chasing her dream, following the path she was meant to take. But somewhere along the way, she failed to realize that the dream she was fighting for had never truly been hers. For years, she had allowed the people around her to make decisions for her-what she should do, what she should pursue, and who she was supposed to become.
And she was so used to it that she never questioned it.
Until Riguel noticed.
Riguel had always been somewhere in Cynthia's life-her brother's best friend, her neighbor, and someone her family had grown close to. He had seen the little things others overlooked: the way Cynthia always said yes, the way she chose what was expected of her instead of what she actually wanted, and the way she convinced herself that being content was the same as being happy.
But Riguel refused to let her keep living a life that wasn't hers.
Slowly, he made her see the truth she had been avoiding: she wasn't chasing her dream. She was chasing the version of herself that everyone else wanted her to be.
And realizing that terrified Cynthia.
Because if everything she had ever wanted had been shaped by someone else, then what did she truly want?
For the first time, Cynthia has to find an answer on her own. She has to discover who she is beyond everyone's expectations-and find the courage to choose a dream simply because it belongs to her.
But how will she find what she truly wants for herself when she has spent her whole life following what everyone else wanted for her?
