Ava thought love would find her when the timing was right.

So she waited.

She waited through conversations that went nowhere.

Through almost-connections that felt promising but never aligned.

Through effort that came too fast, too little, or disappeared entirely.

And somewhere in all of it—

she started to question if she was asking for too much.

Until she realized… she wasn’t asking for enough of the right things.

This is not a story about chasing love.

It’s about what happens when you stop.

Through honest, quietly powerful moments—first dates that almost fit, connections that feel good but not right, and a shift that changes everything—Ava begins to see that the answer was never in finding someone else.

It was in no longer abandoning herself.

She stops overexplaining.

Stops adjusting.

Stops choosing potential over peace.

And in the silence that follows—

she becomes someone who no longer needs to be chosen.

Because she already chose herself.

I'm the girl who believes life is better with sprinkles. Equal parts hot-chocolate-lover, daydreamer, and book-devourer, I write with a heart full of wonder and a head bursting with stories. I'm on a mission to explore the wild, weird, and wonderful corners of the human mind where creativity has no rules and feelings actually matter. Whether curled up with a novel or scribbling out a new scene at 2AM, I live for the moments that sparkle with meaning, laughter, and just the right amount of chaos. I'm here to remind you: be adorable, be a little weird, and never stop imagining what is possible.
