I am: Sick These are my thoughts

Sovarielle was born into a legacy of music and magic-one of the legendary sound dragons of Whispervale. But everything changed the day an attack stole her sense of smell, severing her from the bond that connects dragonkind. Exiled by instinct and grieving the loss of her family and horde, she vanished into the human world, learning to navigate life through sound instead of scent. In dragon society, scent is everything. It guides memory, emotion, and-most importantly-connection. It is how dragons recognize their mates. Without it, Sovarielle is considered broken, untethered... alone. Years later, a single misstep leads her back into dragon territory-and into a storm of long-forgotten alliances, mythical creatures, and rising tensions. From sirens guarding sacred seas to secretive centaurs with ancient wisdom, Sovarielle's path is shaped by those who see her not as damaged, but different. And as feelings deepen between her and a dragon who seems to know more than he says, she begins to wonder: If dragons find their mates by scent... will she ever truly know if she's found hers? A map of the country is included in the prologue, showing dragon territories, human cities, and key locations mentioned throughout the story. For readers who enjoy diving deeper, I've also created The Scentmarked Archive, which includes an interactive map and expanded lore exploring ancient dragon territories, mysterious islands, siren legends, shifter homelands, and more. You can find the link to the archive and map in my bio. Thank you so much for choosing to step into this world with me.

So many chronic illnesses are recognized around the world, but I feel as if Dysautonomia POTS is left out the loop. I hope this spreads awareness on this illness and helps people learn more about it.

Sometimes it feels like I'm black and white, and everyone else is in color. Other times it feels like I'm in color and everyone else is in black and white, and everyone is watching my every move, judging me, and trying to decide if I'm just asking for attention. The truth is, I would do just about anything that I could to get that attention to go away. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and being the only kid in my class with chronic pain is not easy. I have to fight to do everything that most people can do easily and no one realizes it. Instead, when I can't do something, people assume I'm exaggerating and I could do it if I just tried. So I want to share my story for anybody who is going through what I am.

Describing what it feels like to be the if, instead of the when, with something happening.

"When quiet strength meets patient tenderness, love blooms gently through pain." Nylah Morgan is a bright, loud-laughing, curve-filled hurricane of a woman who carries chronic pain like a shadow. On campus, she's unstoppable. At home, she's unraveling. Malik Thompson has noticed her for years; the limp she tries to hide, the way she massages her wrist after writing too long, how she always gets off the bus two stops before him. He never approaches. Never imposes. Until the day her pain betrays her on the bus stairs. Their worlds brush. Then collide. Then intertwine, through whispered conversations, long bus rides, shared silence, and the slow unraveling of defenses. This is a love story about vulnerability, resilience, invisibility, and the terrifying beauty of being seen. A slow burn that aches before it heals. A romance that moves like a soft tide. A girl learning she's worthy. A boy learning how to love out loud.

Life of a schizo The mind, a shifting landscape of thoughts both profound and perplexing, carries me through a world that never settles. Moments of clarity flicker like crossing stars, only to be swallowed by the clouds of uncertainty. I stand at the edge of reality and illusion, where whispers weave themselves into the fabric of my consciousness, echoing truths I struggle to decipher. But there is beauty in the chaos. There is meaning in the shifting sands. To exist in this space is to navigate a reality unlike any other-to be both lost and found in the same breath. God bless Xian i love uuuu

(THIS BOOK ISNT SOMETHING I'M ACTIVELY WRITING AT THE MOMENT. I'M PUTTING IT UP FOR MYSELF, SO DONT WRITE COMMENTS ABOUT UPDATES BECAUSE I HAVE NONE PLANNED CURRENTLY.)

Unfortunately everything comes crashing down around her when she gets saddled with an illness that has no cure. Scientists have been baffled by the cause for almost a century and her future looks bleak. It hurts her to even walk or stand on occasion, let alone think about attending classes. Everything hurts and she gives up on trying to live a relatively normal life. That is, until she met someone during one of her evening seclusion sessions near the Ocean. Her life turns upside down yet again. The question is: Were these new changes a good thing or has she merely traded one hell for another?
