Happiness is measured differently to all of us.

I thought I had it all. Ethan and my love story were one for the ages. From the moment we met, our hearts entwined like two vines, promising to grow together forever.

Years later our dreams aligned, and our love seemingly unbreakable. But life has a way of testing even the strongest of bonds.

In the blink of an eye, everything changed.

A heart wrenching truth shatters my world into a million pieces and I don't know how to survive it...

The test of survival began with grappling emotions I could barely comprehend. Should I silently suffer to maintain the facade of happiness?

Not so easy when the pain in my chest is more unbearable than I imagined.

The strength to heal depended on finding my way back to happiness.

How do I do that when I have lost faith in the truth of love and forgiveness.

The trust keeping my heart safe was shattered, and I can't risk opening my heart again.

Finding the courage to embrace an uncertain future is more than I can bear.

And I keep asking myself what for?

Does anyone truly believe in a second chance?

A vacation filled with beaches, sun and sand is the perfect escape after a broken heart.

It's what my friends believe and before I knew it we were all on an adventure vacation.

If only it wasn't one of the most dangerous places on earth.

Noone could prepare me for what awaited...
