LEAKING HEART Some hearts don't break with thunder. They leak - quietly, painfully, one heartbeat at a time. Emma wasn't asking for much - just a little love, a little peace, a little room to breathe. Instead, life handed her wounds wrapped in promises, heartbreak disguised as care, and silence where comfort should have been. Used. Abandoned. Pregnant while still figuring out who she was. Now, she stands - not because she's healed, but because she has no choice. Every day is a tightrope walk between holding it all together and falling apart. She's a mother. She's a fighter. But even warriors get tired. Her story isn't a fairy tale. It's raw. It's messy. It's real. > 🩸 Because sometimes, the strongest people are those still bleeding... and walking anyway. 🌒 And maybe - just maybe - light does find those who no longer look for it. A journey through betrayal, motherhood, healing, and hidden strength - LEAKING HEART will break you, lift you, and remind you why we keep fighting.
