#her future

Awakening. Becoming. What's next? So many trajectories. Do not foreclose any avenues.

it   was   her   own   fault   for   getting   attached   to   a   soldier   she   had   no   business   getting   all   tangled   up   with.   such   a   foolish   girl,   falling   for   bucky   like   that   —   like   there   was   no   risk   of   him   being   another   name   on   a   memorial   plaque.   stupid,   stupid,   stupid.   and   now   she   had   to   live   in   her   heartache   and   the   way   her   stomach   twisted   in   knots   and   her   eyes   barely   felt   inspired   to   stay   open.   she   was   so   desperately   sad,   distracting   herself   with   work.   they   said   he   was   gone   and   she   couldn’t   even   react.   she   had   to   wait   until   she   was   alone   in   her   bed,   silently   sobbing   into   her   blankets   while   she   accepted   her   future   was   gone   —   her   future.   now   she   just   idled   the   hours   away   by   cleaning   instruments,   folding   towels,   and   tending   to   minor   wounds.   she   didn’t   even   hear   all   the   chaos   outside   the   tent   until   a   nurse   poked   her   head   in   and   whispered   something   about   some   infantry   coming   back   —   but   she   couldn’t   make   it   out.   she   didn’t   care,   not   really.   so   she   stayed   in   the   supply   tent,   going   through   inventory   on   a   clipboard   as   the   others   outside   cheered   for   the   soldiers   return.

She finds the pages she wrote when her desire was still raw, untamed, unashamed of its hunger.

The ink almost trembles on the paper. So does she.

“I want to be taken past my own thinking,” her younger hand confessed. “To feel someone’s certainty wrap around me until my body forgets how to pretend.”

Heat rises under her skin— the words are bolder than she remembers, reckless in their wanting, aching with a need she never let herself touch.

Another entry waits, darker at the edges, as if written in held breath: “I want to be guided, held in place, undone slowly— until my knees forget their strength.”

Her thighs tighten at the memory of writing that, the echo of an ache she thought she buried. The blush climbs higher, deep and undeniable.

She reads on, pulse quickening: “I want to give in. Completely. I want to feel someone’s hands in my quiet places— the ones I never show, the ones that ache the most.”

Her breath falters. Embarrassment and desire twist together, hot and alive.

God— she had forgotten how fiercely she once longed. Forgotten how it throbbed under everything she did, how it lived in her even when she tried to stand upright and call it maturity.

The ache returns now— slow, molten, impossible to ignore. It fills her chest, her belly, the secret places she never learned to name aloud.

She closes the journal with trembling fingers, pressing it to her heart as the heat spreads through her— not shame, but awakening.

A fire that pulses under silken skin, Each touch a claim, a truth without a law, A fierce embrace that burns beneath her grin.

No shame can cage the hunger in her eyes, No fear can dim the strength beneath her breath, She owns her scars, her wounds, her whispered cries, A woman who thrives in life, in love, in lust.

Her body speaks in rhythms sharp and clear, A language forged in passion and in pain, In every curve, a story held sincere, Unbroken, wild, defiant in her reign.
