Feelings Unbound is a collection of raw, deeply personal short stories that trace an individual's emotional journey. The stories explore a wide range of human experiences, from the depths of The Weight of Silence, where words remain unspoken, to the haunting Whispers in the Dark that echo the pain of emotional abuse.
