Hello everyone! Welcome to the journey of Abi and Ashu. A slow-burn romance story about growing up, the innocence of school love, the struggles of long-distance, and the harsh realities of balancing ambition with a relationship. Before you dive in, here's a little about what you're about to read: 1. Based on a True Story This story is heavily inspired by actual events from my life. Much of the narrative is drawn directly from my personal journals. Because of this, the writing style is journalistic and slice-of-life; it may feel repetitive at times, but that's because real life doesn't always follow a perfect movie script. While the core emotions and events are true, a few fictional elements have been added to stitch the narrative together smoothly. Some chapters will also feature simple illustrations to bring certain moments to life. 2. The POV System The main story is told entirely from Ashu's point of view. If you read only the numbered chapters (Chapter 1, 2, 3...), you'll still experience the complete story. You'll also notice some decimal chapters (like Chapter 5.5). These chapters are written from Abi's POV by my real-life girlfriend, the Abi to my Ashu. These chapters retell moments from her perspective or include scenes Ashu never witnessed. These are optional. Think of them as bonus content, but they aren't required to follow the plot. 3. Language The story is set in a Tamil cultural context. Tamil dialogues are used to maintain the authenticity of emotions, and English translations are provided either immediately or through context. 4. A Small Disclaimer This is my first time writing a story. I'm not a professional author-I'm learning as I go. I've used AI tools to help with grammar and structure, but the heart, emotions, and experiences are entirely my own. Please forgive any rookie mistakes along the way. I hope you enjoy living through our memories. Happy Reading!

REVOLUTIONARY is a work-in-progress novel about the Romanian Revolution, seen from the height of a 6-7-year-old child - the one place where truth shouldn't be complicated, yet life makes it so anyway. Through his eyes, the "adult world" begins to speak in whispers, doors close more often than usual, grown-ups change their faces from one hour to the next, and words like freedom, fear, and gun suddenly enter a universe that only yesterday was about sweet bread, chewing gum, and a Pioneer scarf. The story doesn't unfold in a straight line. It shifts - sometimes almost chaotically - between moments from Before the Revolution (B.R.), with its communist routine and quiet absurdity, and scenes from After the Revolution (A.R.), in a still-young democracy learning how to walk... sometimes in the dark, sometimes at a run. This isn't a history lesson. It's a childhood caught between rumors, sirens, silences, and the kind of courage you don't know you have until you're asked for it. A novel about what a Revolution looks like when you don't fully understand it - but you feel absolutely everything.

Umbralis. A world where the sun is a weapon, the dark is a prison, and blood is the only currency that matters. For centuries, the 73 Great Houses of Night-roamers have ruled the earth from the shadows. To them, humanity is mere livestock, and the Elven tribes are high-value commodities to be hunted and sold. They are the apex predators of the night, retreating only when the searing light of day forces them into their gilded cellars. But in the scorched expanse of the South, a new power has emerged. Enter House Veridia. Through a pair of 'forbidden' marriages, Urdin Veridia had set the stage not only for a new House of Sunwalkers, but laid the foundations that Night-roamers will soon learn to dread, with his eldest son and heir, Cassian, and sharp-tongued daughter Erissa as the new faces. When House Rosia, from their high seat in the north, burned Hearthglen, they did not just erase a border village. They erased the last shreds of Urdin's reverence for 'the Old Peace'. Now the Sun itself is on the march, and as it does, it gathers those the Night discarded-the broken, the haunted, and the nameless-forging them into a new kind of weapon.

Growing up doesn't mean questions disappear, they just change. Beyond is a continuation of becoming, written from the other side of growing up. Where Within explored finding a voice, Beyond lives in the quiet after it. These poems reflect the trials and tribulations of adulthood: grief and loss, disillusionment and hope, learning how the world truly works, and choosing to keep dreaming anyway. This collection is shaped by lived experience: navigating an unfair society, facing death and change, redefining love and belonging, and holding onto softness in a world that often demands hardness. The questions are no longer about who you might become, but how to live as who you already are. Beyond is an ongoing invitation for readers who are still becoming, but with clearer eyes, removing the rose colored glasses, steadier feet, and a deeper understanding of themselves. For anyone learning how to exist in the real world without losing their sense of wonder, this space is for you. If Within helped you feel seen, Beyond is here to sit with you as you grow.

Still Standing: A Story of Becoming is a raw and intimate reflection on first love, self-sacrifice, and the quiet moments that change us. A'miah Moore explores what it means to confuse endurance with love, and how easily you can lose yourself while trying to hold onto someone else. Through vulnerability, family ties, and emotional awakening, this story follows a young woman learning to reclaim her voice, her worth, and her sense of self. Still Standing is about heartbreak, healing, and the strength it takes to grow beyond what once hurt you. For anyone who has ever stayed too long, loved too deeply, or had to rebuild from the ground up-this book is proof that becoming yourself is its own kind of survival.

Life's not always as perfect as it seems in films. No, I'm not Kat Stratford (though I wish to be) and no, my family trauma doesn't run as deep as Jude Duarte. But life's life, you've just got to deal with it. Maybe sometimes you fail yourself, and other times you fails others. But who cares? Fuck it, shit happens. I've just decided to post stories from my childhood that mostly happened to me, and sometimes my friends. And whoever manages to pick this up (among so many others), I really hope you enjoy it. And if you're ever having a bad day, just remember there's someone out there who's pushing a door that says pull. NOTE:All pictures in the cover have been taken my me, and belong to me.
