She prayed for love that honored God. He prayed for strength to keep his thoughts pure. Then the youth retreat happened - one bonfire, one confession, and suddenly everything they'd been fighting for felt like everything they could lose. Carmen has always wanted a love that puts Jesus first. Lander has always wanted her - but not at the cost of his soul.Now there's Julian: new, steady, safe... and asking questions neither of them are ready to answer. Between frost-covered mornings, late-night worship, and a heart that won't stay quiet, two best friends have to decide: Is this love from God... or the most beautiful test they'll ever face? A clean, slow-burn Christian romance about guarding your heart when it beats the loudest. "Set me as a seal upon your heart... for love is as strong as death." - Song of Solomon 8:6

This is mainly me getting back active. After being isolated away from my account since I got my belongings taken. Alone in Society, is how I felt for the past month and it felt like the perfect collection to drop this month. Since I have been battling a lot of criticism for my body, health, etc. and I am only 14 so bare with me if the grammar is off. It's been harder for me to think straight and be genuine since I started freshman year in highschool, so i haven't been as consistent. But each comment, vote, and view allows me to feel needed like someone out there wants to hear my voice. Alone in Society is about my life, and how I feel. From all the slurs people say to me to the constant nagging of people being controlling of how I see the things I like and love. It's about statements of how JTUSL could've been my last resort. But finding that self love is harder to understand and this month I tried to figure out why.

These are the poems that raised me and continue to raise me. Each one a phase, a feeling, a fight. Spoken Out is a timeline of truth-soft, sharp, and still standing.

A poem written from the middle - where self-love feels unreachable - and being heard feels impossible. These are the words I couldn't say out loud and thoughts that only pen, paper, and myself was able to understand. This is for anyone caught between the person they are and the world they're forced to survive in. Also for anyone who just gets how it feels Just Trying to Understand Self Love.

Welcome to Where Did the Light Go. These words come from the dark corners of a restless city and the quiet battles of a restless soul. Here, you'll find stories told in shadows - confessions, fears, and truths that don't always fit in the light. Read closely. Listen well. And maybe, together, we'll find where the light went - and how to bring it back.
