    I don't remember the exact day we became "us." All I remember is that we started as strangers- different benches, different lives, different versions of broken. Seven girls. Completely different. Too loud, too emotional, too complicated. And somewhere between shared tiffins, random fights, jealousy, secrets, and late-night conversations... We became inseparable. Four years. One friendship. Endless memories. From school corridors filled with gossip, crushes, pressure, and laughter... to silent battles of expectations, growing up too fast, and becoming people we never thought we'd be. We weren't perfect. We fought. We misunderstood. We hurt each other. But we stayed. And sometimes... staying is the hardest part. Because not everything that feels like forever... actually stays. Now, life has taken us in different directions-different cities, different dreams. But some memories? They never really leave. This is not just a story about friendship. This is our story. The story of When We Were Almost Adults.

    When you have a completely different story project you should be working on finishing, but decide to open up your notes app and finally write a fan fiction about Robin and Starfire instead, but your memory about the Teen Titans is fuzzy and you're too lazy to research what canonically happened, so you're basing everything off memory with some slight google searches here and there, writing a cozy love story that will be filled with copious amounts of grammatical errors because you're not sifting this through any sort of grammar checker. If this sounds like your cup of tea, please feel free to stick around 💐 Yours truly, Yosh 💖

    Some dreams are worth waiting for. Others become the reason you learn how to let go. Hiraya Mercedes has always known what she wants. Ambitious, determined, and unwilling to settle for less than the future she imagines, she spends her college years chasing every opportunity that comes her way. Then she meets Manawari Gregorio. What begins as a reluctant friendship slowly turns into something neither of them expected-a bond built on shared dreams, quiet understanding, and years of choosing each other over and over again. From crowded classrooms and late-night study sessions to first jobs and impossible decisions, Hiraya and Manawari grow together through every season of life. While the world around them changes, one thing remains certain: They are each other's home. But dreams come with a cost. As distance, responsibilities, and time pull them in different directions, the future they once promised begins to slip further from reach. And no matter how hard they fight for it, life keeps asking them to wait a little longer. A little longer. A little longer. Until one day, they are forced to ask themselves the question they've spent years avoiding: How long can love survive when the future never arrives? Hiraya Manawari is a heartbreaking slow-burn romance about dreams, timing, and the painful truth that sometimes the people we love most are not the people we get to keep.

    Book 3 of The Journey Series Isadiel Zayas‑Smith grew up in a kitchen full of noise and heat, watching his father run Per Ardua with steady hands and a clear purpose. He always knew he wanted that life for himself. What he didn't expect was losing the person who mattered most before he ever had the chance to grow into it. Lizander Watkins had been part of his world since they were kids, first as a friend, then as something deeper, and then as the one who broke the trust they built in secret. Graduation scattered everything. Isa threw himself into cooking, into long nights and early mornings, into the routine that kept him from thinking too much. Ten years later, he has the restaurant in his hands and a life built on order, the noise never touching what he keeps inside. Then Lizander walks back into it. One look is enough to bring back the weight of everything they never said, and Isa feels the ground shift under him in a way he hasn't felt in years. Nothing between them is simple. Nothing is forgotten. And the man standing in front of Isa is not the boy he walked away from. Book 3 of: The Journey Series

    "Papawis lang." Ilang beses ko nang narinig ang mga salitang iyon. Sa basketball, video games, trabaho at pati sa buhay. Pero bakit ganoon? Kung walang pusta, bakit kami nag-aaway? Kung walang pusta, bakit kami nasasaktan? Kung walang pusta, bakit pakiramdam ko kailangan kong manalo? Mula sa pagiging isang streamer noong panahon ng pandemya, hanggang sa pagtatayo ng esports team na hindi kailanman naging kampeon. Mula sa pagpasa sa board exam, hanggang sa pagharap sa init ng construction sites at mga control room ng power grid. Mula sa unang pag-ibig, mga pagkakamali, mga hiwalayan, at mga pagbabalikan. Ito ang kuwento ng isang lalaking laging nasa likod ng tagumpay ng iba. Hindi siya MVP. Hindi siya sikat. Hindi siya ang pinakamahusay. Pero sa bawat yugto ng buhay niya, may mga laban siyang pinili. May mga pangarap siyang hinabol. At may mga taong nasaktan habang sinusubukan niyang hanapin kung sino ba talaga siya. Isang coming-of-age story tungkol sa ambisyon, pagkakamali, pag-ibig, pamilya, at sa tahimik na pakikibaka ng mga taong patuloy na lumalaban kahit walang nakakakita. Dahil minsan, ang pinakamahirap na laban ay hindi para sa tropeo. Kundi para sa sarili. Isang nobela ni EngrSisiw

    In the Beast Empire, bloodline dictates destiny. As a rare Fox-Rabbit hybrid, Lunaria Vale hid her true nature to become the flawless "Saintess of Healing," all to stand beside her fiancé, Kael Dravenhart of the Panther Clan. But her loyalty was rewarded with a blade. Framed for a poisoning she didn't commit, Lunaria was executed while the man she loved watched in silence. Her last sight before the guillotine fell wasn't Kael-it was Ronan Winterfang, the stoic Silver Wolf, breaking through the royal guards in a desperate, blood-soaked rage to save her. Now, awakening fifteen years in the past in her frail, eleven-year-old body, Lunaria remembers everything. The political traps, the isolation, and the agonizing sting of betrayal. Her mana is weak, her body is small, and her stepfamily's grip on her life is tightening. But she holds the ultimate advantage: the memories of a life already lived. This time, there will be no desperate pleas for Kael's affection. This time, she will walk away from the Panther Clan's gilded cage and reach her hand out to the Wolf who loved her first.

From the first stirrings of adolescence to the edges of young adulthood, these poems hold love, heartbreak, and growth. Written like diary entries in primarily free verse-they are unfiltered fragments of a heart learning to feel, to endure, and to remember.
