Sometimes the longest journey… is not to a place, but to one's own heart.
The Wayward Heart, No More tells the story of a young woman learning to hug herself, embrace her mistakes, and share warmth with those around her.
A heart that is no longer wayward begins with the love one gives oneself.
Soft sunlight streamed through the conference room windows, bathing everything in a gentle glow.
She stood at the center of the stage, heart pounding, hands trembling slightly with excitement and nerves.
Around her were familiar faces and strangers alike, all eyes fixed on her with expectation.
"Finally… I want everyone to ask your own heart: Have you hugged yourself tightly enough today?"
Her voice wavered, yet carried strength. The words resonated in everyone's hearts.
Tonight, she didn't know if everything would get easier, but she knew one thing… she was ready to keep walking forward.
> The new morning sunlight filtered softly through the curtains of her room.
She got up feeling lighter than usual, after hugging herself tightly the night before.
Today wasn't just about herself anymore—she wanted to share this warmth with others.
She grabbed a warm cup of tea and walked to the nearby café.
"Thank you… I hope everyone has a good day today," she said softly to the barista.
A young man smiled and said, "You sound like you're cheering yourself on too."
She returned the smile. "Yes… and I want others to feel the same—that they deserve their own love."
