Insecure Stories

"You're my hero, Superwoman," he said, his voice rough like gravel - like he wasn't used to saying anything soft. I smiled, his gaze steady as I tied the last strip of the bandage around his shoulder. "How come my superpowers don't work on you and me?" I asked, quietly, like it wasn't already eating me alive. He didn't flinch. "Maybe they don't work on people who already belong to you." His callused hand brushed my cheek. My chest ached. "Sukhala mama, ungowami wena." And the tears came. Because I'd asked him to fake love me. And now I didn't know where the lie ended and the truth began. He said "mama." inqondo yagoloza,intliziyo yavuma.

She's the woman every man wants and every woman envies. But when her younger sister announces an unexpected engagement, Ngewami's perfectly curated world tilts off its axis. She was supposed to be first. The wife. The bride. The standard. Now, with the spotlight slipping and her ego bruised, Ngewami will stop at nothing to beat her sister to the altar-even if it means faking a relationship with the one kind of man she's always sworn off: A Zulu man. Sharp-tongued, emotionally armored, and unapologetically ambitious, Ngewami isn't looking for love-she's looking for a win. But love has a twisted sense of humor. And it just might be written in bold, bloody Zulu.

"It is poetry that shows us the mirror of life". This book mainly consists self-written poems on variety of topics or the poems(by other poets) that has deeply touched my heart.

16-year-old Sarena Hart has always felt invisible, especially with an older sister like Dominique. Graceful, beautiful, and perfect-- everything Sarena wasn't. So, she stuck to what she was: smart, a great friend, and in love with her sister's best friend, Calvin Reyes. Liking him wasn't even a crush anymore. It was like a default setting. But how do you confess to someone who's seen you in your most awkward phases? You don't. Sarena thought that was her biggest problem-- until Desmond Reyes comes back, Calvin's younger brother and her childhood nemesis. And suddenly, everything Sarena thought she had figured out starts bursting at the seams.

Xavier, a dark-haired, steel-eyed Alpha, has lived his life carrying the weight of leadership and the whisper of a legend-that a mate's soul will call to an Alpha when danger looms. He never believed it... until visions begin to haunt him, pulling him toward someone fragile, hidden, and achingly familiar. Saphira has survived by staying invisible. Deaf, isolated, and treated as an outsider, she trusts no one and expects nothing. Her silence is her shield-until the day she collides with the stranger who looks at her as if she matters. Drawn together by a bond neither fully understands, they are caught between pack politics, bloodthirsty enemies, and their own broken pasts. For Xavier, protecting her becomes instinct. For Saphira, trusting him may be the hardest battle she's ever faced. But threads of fate are rarely gentle. Some are woven in silence, some in fire-and some must be fought for with everything you have. Silent Threads is a dark, emotional werewolf romance about survival, trust, and the unbreakable bond that speaks louder than words.

So it's pretty much about how Izuku is super insecure about himself and Katsuki doesn't care and loves him anyway, I cried while writing it. I'm a pretty new writer I guess so I just want to see if anyone thinks this is good. This will probably become a oneshot book btw!

"Cuz if it's easy, it won't be amazing, if it's amazing it won't be easy, if it's worth it, you won't give up, if you give up, you're not worthy..." *** For Zubaida the rules have always been simple. Playing it safe when it came to her fragile heart had always been the best and only option. Risking it all and going to heights for love had never been her known forte, not after facing the brutal reality of what the other side of love could be like at least. Fahad on the other hand, still has some demons of his to fight. Four years ago, he'd lost the one person that meant the world to him and it had been it for him since then. No one could get through the walls he'd built around him eversince. Life pulls these two towards each other and suddenly love comes crashing down the walls of these two fractured souls, and the thin line between love and friendship couldn't seem more blurry. Mix this up with the web of jealousy, lies, greed, envy, and hidden secrets that lie around them and it's one hell of a wild emotional rollercoaster full of obstacles, pain, crises and hardships, but amidst it all is a journey of friendship, love, growth, and life changing lessons. They say the best things in life happen when unexpected, but at the same time, the most beautiful roses are those that come with the sharpest thorns. How much would you let yourself go through for the sake of the one person that means everything to you, and how far could you go for the sake of love? *** "...cuz truth is, everyone's gonna hurt you, you just gotta find those who are worth suffering for."

Everyone in your life eventually leaves, whether intentionally or not. You never realize what you have until you lose it. This is sad, but it's the truest thing anyone had ever said to me. I learn lessons the hard way, sometimes a bit too late. I lose people that mean the most to me constantly, but I managed to imbibe the fact that I have absolutely no control over their thoughts, what they want. I am no one special, just a girl with a heart that is tired of getting broken. Just a lost spirit trying desperately to find myself. Spreading hope and cheerfulness among everyone I encounter, in spite of having a depressed soul. Nobody is willing to help, and I'm not willing to try to help myself either, because I am simply tired. And the one person who used to complete me, and make me feel that I'm not alone, is forever gone. And with the disappearance of his resounding heartbeats, I find myself sinking slowly into abstract darkness.
