I was just a girl.
He was just a boy stocking shelves at the grocery store.

But what started as a teenage crush turned into something much heavier —
the first heartbreak that would echo for years.

This isn’t just about J.
It’s about the ache that comes from loving someone who can’t love themselves.
About the pattern of trying to fix the broken, hoping it’ll make you whole.

It’s about what love feels like before you understand what love costs.

If you've ever fallen for potential…
If you've ever tried to carry someone through their darkness…
If you've ever lost yourself in someone else's pain…

This is your episode.
