A Quiet Kind of Brave. Life is a Story - story.one

It is a cold January day, when Daisy's quiet world collides with Theo's vibrant spirit at their shared bus stop. That first meeting becomes a weekly tradition which sparks an unexpected friendship. As the year unfolds, they navigate the complexities of living with mental health struggles, and the search for understanding and their place in the world amongst the chaos of that. Theo begins to chip away at Daisy's reserved nature, while teaching him the value in vulnerability. Together, they discover that bravery isn't always loud; sometimes, its the silent support of a true friend that makes the difference. A Quiet Kind of Brave is a journey of growth, resilience and the power of connection.
