The Real Fix

I didn't plan on falling in love with Chris.

I didn't plan on failing classes, sitting through awkward family dinners, or watching one of my best friends spiral into a mess I can't fix.

This isn't a story about neat solutions or happy-ever-afters. It's about good days that end too soon, bad days that feel too heavy, and the messy in-betweens when you're just trying to breathe.

There's no magic cure. No perfect answer. But maybe the real fix isn't about silencing the pain—it's about finding the people who make you want to keep going.
