Copyright © 2025 Maysa has always lived between worlds - the daughter of an Arab father and a Nigerian mother, raised in a home that looked perfect from the outside but was already breaking behind closed doors. From an early age, she learns what it means to be too much of one thing and never enough of another. After her father's death, the space between those worlds only widens. Rejected where she expects comfort and misunderstood where she seeks belonging, Maysa grows up carrying quiet losses, complicated family ties, and questions she's never been allowed to ask out loud. As she steps into adulthood, she is forced to confront what she's been taught about love, loyalty, faith, and womanhood - and what she actually believes. In a world where tradition speaks loudly and girls are expected to endure silently, she must decide who she is beyond survival. Then she meets Faruk - steady, patient, and unexpectedly gentle with the parts of her she keeps hidden. With him, Maysa begins to question whether love has to be painful, and whether softness can exist without loss. Maysa is a coming-of-age story rooted in culture, family, and faith. It explores identity, belonging, and the slow, fragile process of choosing yourself without losing where you come from. Soft, emotional, and deeply human, this is a story about a girl learning that strength doesn't always look like resistance - sometimes it looks like becoming.

Soft Beginnings is a collection of gentle, character-driven stories about first steps into new ways of being. In every story, there is an important role for a gender-diverse character - ranging from gender-creative children to questioning teenagers and young transgender adults. In some stories, it becomes clear quite quickly who that person is. In others, it is not revealed. And in some, you may come to know only gradually. That is intentional. For the character themselves, being gender-diverse is important. For the story, it is not always the central point. In each story, small or significant moments unfold - moments that matter deeply to the character. Sometimes these relate directly to their identity, sometimes indirectly, and sometimes not at all. Sometimes they happen quietly in the background. Sometimes only for a brief instant. Some stories stand on their own, featuring characters who appear only once. Others return to the same characters, though not consecutively. There may be a jump in time. What happened in between is not always told. The reader is invited to imagine it. Soft Beginnings is about curiosity, courage, and quiet change. About moments that do not announce themselves - but matter all the same.

Determined to find the mysterious artist and thank them in person, Finn discovers it's not as simple as sending a message. Tracking someone who prefers to stay hidden will take strategy, patience... and maybe a few of the skills he's learned in his favorite game. (I promise you its romantic and not creepy sounding 😂😭)

Is everything free or does it come with a cost.....? Or does the world seem to fight against me in all shapes of life? Is it too much to ask for love without a compromise? ****************************************** For years now I had been living in the Uk with my Mum and Dad. My Mum was half Dominican and my Dad was partly from Edo and Oyo state. For years my parents have constantly fought on where I should attend school. My Dad was never a fan of the schools in London. He always said "My child it is better you attend a school in Nigeria. We have rich cultures, good foods, more social etiquette than your mates. The children here don't even greet when they see their elders. I don't want you to get spoiled with their 'nonsense' lifestyle. It is for your own good". Though I never saw it that way I didn't stress it enough to contend it. Mum on the other hand always disagreed with Dad she wanted me to school in London purely for the accent and the lifestyle my Dad called 'nonsense'. After nights of arguments Mum finally agreed and they both shipped me to Nigeria. Yes ship me. And now I live with my Aunt and I have to face the reality of school in Abuja precisely 'Aurelian-Vale Goldcrest Academy'.

And in the shadow of a looming coronation, a single glance can unravel an empire. What happens when the person you're sworn to protect is the fiction you must uphold?

What happens when you stop pushing? After walking away from THE WALL, Yunmi tells herself she needs time. Space. Clarity. She believes that if she moves carefully enough, she won't lose herself again. A wooden bench in a small plaza becomes her in-between place. She sits there before replying to messages. Before submitting applications. Before saying yes. Around her, friends make plans, relocate, and begin new chapters. Yunmi keeps her options open. She answers vaguely. She tells herself she's being cautious. Nothing dramatic collapses. Deadlines close quietly. Invitations shift. People adapt. The bench never pressures her. It never demands commitment. It simply allows her to remain slightly out of reach. As the year moves forward without waiting for certainty, Yunmi begins to face a quieter truth - not about failure, but about protection. And about what it costs to stay just beyond the point where anyone can fully reach you. (THE BENCH is a sequel to THE WALL, and is best read after it.)

In Aetherion, a floating city ruled by gears and ritual, time never slips-until it does. When a young man finds a hidden artifact that shouldn't exist, the city's old paths begin to shift. Maps rewrite, doors awaken, and the clock that once kept order now demands proof of worth. But when the city deems him 'unsuitable,' his true journey begins-not to fix Aetherion, but to listen to what the sky forgot.

An engineer gets dropped into the one piece world with no crew, no combat skills, and no grand dream. The only advantages he has are his modern knowledge, his sharp logic & problem solving skills, and whatever else came with him in his car. But in a sea ruled by strength, ideas and unfamiliar technology can be more dangerous than swords. In a world built on Haki and Devil Fruits, even the smallest innovation can disrupt the balance. Or paint a target on his back. Read through his logbook (it's more of a diary if anything) as he navigates an unfamiliar world. Not as a hero chasing the One Piece, but as someone simply trying to understand where he fits. Watch as he wrestles with identity, isolation, and the weight of being different in a place where difference can either make you legendary... or get you killed. Note: I never wrote anything outside of school before. I just wanted to try something new. Hopefully you all will enjoy this story dump :)

I started writing because my thoughts were too loud. Every chapter is a letter I never sent. To anxiety. To the mirror. To the people who hurt me. To the version of me I'm trying to become. I don't promise healing. I only promise honesty.

This is a story about names. Not the ones you're given at birth, but the labels you earn in the hallways of Sanctuary of the Hills Academy. High school wasn't about finding yourself. It was about surviving the disasters you accidentally created. It was about shifting responsibilities, the pressure of doing too much, and the realization that some mistakes leave a residue you can never quite peel off. It can also be about oranges. In 2006, I spent my freshman year trying to stay out of the light, only to find myself caught in the orbit of Pauline Abad-the girl who didn't just witness my failures, but gave them a title. Once a name sticks, it becomes the story everyone tells about you, until you start to believe it yourself. I know this because it happened to me. This is how I became Mr. Bad Timing. Author: H.R. Lagman

They all arrived on campus believing this was where life would finally begin. Fresh notebooks, new dorm rooms, social media posts captioned "new chapter." But beneath the excitement, each of them carried something unspoken - quiet insecurities, family expectations, heartbreaks they never fully healed from, and the pressure to become someone impressive before they even knew who they were. In crowded lecture halls and late-night dorm conversations, they pretend they're confident. Some chase success. Some chase love. Some chase distraction. Everyone moves fast, afraid of falling behind. Yet in the middle of packed schedules, failed exams, messy relationships, and silent battles with doubt, they start to realize no one really has it figured out. There's the girl who questions her worth every time she changes her major. The boy who hides his fear of failure behind reckless freedom. The friend who seems strong in public but prays in private for clarity. Together, they stumble through heartbreak, ambition, temptation, comparison, and the ache of trying to belong. They push boundaries. They make mistakes. They learn the hard way. But somewhere between chapel nights, honest conversations, and moments of unexpected grace, they begin to understand something bigger is holding them together. This isn't just a story about college. It's about becoming. About faith when plans fall apart. About friendships that shape you. About love that challenges you. About discovering that even in the chaos of deadlines, decisions, and detours - God is still present. Because sometimes you don't find yourself by having all the answers. Sometimes you find yourself by walking through the questions - together. Hope you enjoy💋
