Broken Petals

Broken Petals is a raw, intimate coming-of-age reflection told through the diary-style voice of Sasha, a young woman navigating the delicate balance between love, hope, and heartbreak. For Sasha, childhood was full of laughter, the warmth of her father’s encouragement, and her grandmother’s steady love. These moments formed the petals of her early life — fragile, beautiful, and full of promise. Yet even in the midst of those happy memories, there was an unspoken longing: to connect more deeply with her mother, to feel a bond that seemed forever out of reach. As Sasha grows, cracks begin to form in the glass of her once-simple world. Her story unfolds in fragments — family tensions, first heartbreaks, friendships that drift, and the recurring ache of giving too much of herself in hopes of being truly seen. With every disappointment, another “petal” of her innocence seems to fall away, leaving her to question whether good intentions are enough to protect her heart. Still, Broken Petals is not just a story of loss; it is a testimony to resilience. Sasha’s voice is soft but unflinching as she reflects on the lies we tell ourselves, the weight of misplaced love, and the stubborn hope that keeps her trying again and again. Tender and lyrical, Broken Petals is about the fragility of growing up, the scars of relationships, and the courage of a girl who refuses to let brokenness steal her capacity to love.
