Rhythm of Love
Summary
Soon enough she found her way home in Oyama, B.C. which is a small town right outside of Kelowna. Going back home brings the good and the bad. She finds herself building a bond with one of the most caring guys she's ever met. But for some reason she has such a hard time trusting and always finds herself pushing people away. While battling depression she finds herself in a budding romance.
Friends can help each other. A true friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself - and especially to feel. Or, not feel. Whatever you happen to be feeling at the moment is fine with them. That's what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is.
- Jim Morrison
