This story is inspired by love and how easily it can be lost and destroyed wounding the heart for what seems forever. Living parallel lives of past love and present pain. Trapped in the dark depths of the soul, until the breakthrough on the other side.
“Why when there is so
much love, do we have
to destroy it.”
It’s a rite of passage that we can all relate with, to regain ourselves and our identity back. It’s a hard dark journey to face alone. We have all been there, and there can be so much growth through pain and true surrender. If we can really be present and learn the wisdoms through this, real change can ignite inside us. We can then be reborn and be more true to ourselves in the world that we inhabit.
