Samantha Kortenhoeven draws a smiley face in the condensation of her breath on her front door on Friday, Oct. 25, 2024, at her home in Lawrenceburg, Kentucky. “Honestly, the thought of never needing another person again is the goal. I've always had a guy there. I’ve always thought that the only way to be happy is to be with a guy.” Kortenhoeven hopes that leaving her mother and moving away will help her find happiness.
