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.

Cilo Cilo is a quiet, contemporary coming of age novel following the life of fifteen year old Cilo through the small, familiar moments of everyday life. School days pass, friendships form and settle, nights stretch into accidental hours of gaming, and walks home blur into routine. Yet beneath the ordinariness, Cilo feels a growing sense of dissonance; an unease sparked by reflections, clothing, and fleeting reactions that linger longer than they should. As gender identity begins to surface in subtle, unspoken ways, the novel traces a gentle, often uncertain journey of self-recognition. Cilo Cilo captures the slow unfolding of identity through ordinary days that quietly change everything.

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 :)

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'.

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.
