In Chapter 19 of Timeless Love, the main character is thrust into the Shadow Realm, where she finds herself trapped in a looping cycle. Surrounded by darkness, she repeatedly encounters a door that leads her back to her high school, where she's subjected to bullying. She feels helpless and exhausted, ultimately collapsing. In her dream state, she meets Abdullah, her beloved, who speaks to her in a way that deeply moves her.
Writing this scene, almost brought tears to my eyes. The emotional impact of Abdullah’s words highlights the significance of my character's self-discovery and transformation.

The magic of writing is when you coin your own ideas that touch your very own heart.
