Hoping Stories

Spring follows winter. Day follows night. Healing follows heartbreak... if one chooses it. High schooler Rikki's life is a mess after her parents' divorce. The teenager wishes for things to go back to how they were before. Moreso, she wants her dad to find love again. But while she's hoping for his happiness, her own life begins to unravel. A series of painful confrontations with her closest friends leaves Rikki with a choice: isolate or embrace change. As old connections fade, Rikki learns that endings aren't failures-- they're beginnings in disguise. Will she learn to let go and grow, or will she try to hold onto the past? When one chapter closes, another one opens. AN: !UNPOLISHED WORK! This is a divergence from the material I usually write. This was a challenge to work outside of my comfort zone. I welcome constructive feedback in strengthening this piece.

A New Adult Coming-of-Age Romance. Finding Love. Finding Home. Finding Yourself. Love doesn't always point north-sometimes it points inward. At twenty-two, Eleanor "Nell" Brooks feels unmoored-finished with college, uncertain of her future, and quietly exhausted from living the life everyone else planned for her. When a fractured family tie and an unexpected opportunity pull her away from the city to a small coastal town she once swore she'd never return to, Nell hopes only for distance and clarity. Instead, she finds Cal Rowan-steady, intuitive, and rooted in a place she's still afraid to claim. As Nell rebuilds herself piece by piece, Cal challenges her to stay present, to stop running from who she's been and who she's becoming. Together, they navigate first real love, adult choices, grief, ambition, and the terrifying beauty of choosing a life on purpose. But when the road forward demands sacrifice, Nell must decide: follow the map she was given-or trust the compass of her heart.

A book of poems from an amature author

What happens when your journey to find God leads you to someone who feels like a miracle? Anjali Jacob is shattered. After months of betrayal, toxic friendships, and cruel rumors at university, she's left isolated, doubting her worth, and clinging to a faith that feels like a distant memory. Desperate for solace, she joins a pilgrimage to Havenstow a holy pace of Our Lady Of North Star, hoping to find a shred of peace in the ancient holy site. There, she finds more than she prayed for, a group of true friends who see her, not her past. And him. Rhys Francis is the quiet, unshakable leader of the youth prayer group-a young man whose faith burns as bright and steady as a star. When their paths cross in the sacred space, something in Anjali's broken spirit shifts. She's drawn to him in a way she can't explain, a quiet longing that feels both holy and terrifying. But this isn't just a story about a crush. It's a story about healing. As Anjali navigates her new community, her rekindled faith, and the silent pull toward Rhys, she must untangle a sacred question: Is this feeling a distraction from God, or could it be a path leading her closer to Him?

just something I thought up after reading too many twin flame posts. may this find those who need it. if it isn't needed I'm fine with being obscure. I hold faith in all I speak of. but also I'm not sure if I'm mean or not in it so be patient. good luck on this read.

Some words are never spoken, and some apologies never reach the one they're meant for. This book holds the poems, letters, and thoughts I kept inside - all meant only for you. I lost you because of my own mistakes, and I carry that truth every day. These are the things I wish I could have said - the love, the regret, the memories that won't let go. I write these words because they still belong to you. Maybe you'll never read them, but if you ever do... I hope one day you'll forgive me. 💌🥀 #1 in longings on 1st jan 2026 #1 in forhim on 1st jan 2026 #1 in notoveryou on 3rd jan 2026 #1 in unsentletters on 12th jan 2026.

Elias has always understood the world through structure, equations, logic, things that behave the way they're supposed to. So when his teacher asks him to tutor Alex, a quiet boy with failing grades and tired eyes, it feels simple enough. Until it isn't.

The more Elias tries to help, the clearer it becomes that the real problem isn't math - it's where Alex goes when the night ends. When Alex finally shows up at Elias's door, broken and out of excuses, both boys are forced to choose between the safety they've been taught and the safety they desperately need.
