A short story.
Updates- daily.
Rhea has always believed in the kind of love you read about in stories - the accidental eye contact, the secret smiles, the feeling of finally being seen. But in a world where the loudest laughs get mocked, and soft hearts are left unseen, she's learning that some stories aren't written for girls like her.
It started in a college corridor, with a boy she was never supposed to notice. What followed was a silent infatuation spun from stolen glances, imagined conversations, and the fragile hope of being chosen. But when teasing turns to taunts and rejection hides in laughter, Rhea is forced to confront the deeper ache she's carried all her life, of being too much, yet somehow never enough.
Between complicated friendships, invisible wounds, and a family that loves her in parts but never quite whole, Rhea searches for something she can't name. A place. A person. A moment where she'll no longer feel like a stranger in her own skin.
In Another Lifetime- is a painfully honest, coming-of-age tale about unrequited love, crushing insecurities, and the quiet resilience of a girl learning to hold herself when no one else does.
Because sometimes, the bravest thing you can do is keep walking.
