Foreword

STEPHANIE

You might not like me. In fact, I’m pretty sure you won’t.

You’ll think I’m stubborn, cold, and far too cynical for someone my age.

But I’ll let you in on a secret—I’ve had my reasons.

I’ve spent a lot of time avoiding things—people, feelings, memories. And you know what? I’ve gotten pretty good at it. But then, I met someone. Someone who’s made it impossible for me to stay in my little bubble.

Maybe this is all about him. Maybe this is about me.

But mostly, it’s about us—how we keep pushing each other, pulling apart, and coming back together.

So, if you’re still reading, buckle up. You’re in for a bumpy ride. But if you can get past my walls, maybe, just maybe, you’ll see the real me. And trust me, that’s the story worth telling.

Show your support

Writing has always been my escape—my way of turning pain into poetry and silence into stories. With your support, I hope to invest more time and resources into my storytelling journey: better editing, creating beautiful cover art, eventually self-publishing my novels, and maybe even bringing my fictional men to life in a cozy little paperback world. Every bit of your love helps me stay consistent, feel seen, and believe that my voice—though shaped by heartbreak—is still worth hearing. This is more than just writing for me… it’s healing, and I’m so grateful you’re part of it. 💖
