Letting-go Stories

Quiet Hearts Series #1 Amara Raine Cortes was the ever-jolly nursing student---always smiling, always strong, as if nothing in the world could ever break her. But behind that sunshine glow, she was quietly falling apart. Her father left them. At sa pag-alis niya, gumuho rin ang mundo ni Amara. No one truly knew how much it shattered her---except for Kairos Aeron Virellan, her childhood friend . . . her only safe place, her light in the dark. She loved him in silence. She thought he was the one. Akala niya sapat na ang pagmamahal para buuin ang mga piraso ng puso niyang wasak. Pero nagkamali siya. Because life had other plans. And sometimes, choosing yourself means letting go of everything---even the person you thought you'd hold on to forever. Kaya sa huli, natutunan niyang bumitaw. She walked away---leaving everything, and everyone behind . . . to finally choose herself. ----- Book cover not mine. All credits to the rightful owner. Started: May 28, 2025 Ended: -

"මම ඔයාට ආදරේ කරලා මේ කරන්නේ වැරැද්දක් නම්.... ඒ වැරැද්ද ම ආයේ ආයේ කරන්න මම දෙපාරක් හිතන්නේත් නැ."

A YEAR OF FRIENDSHIP WORTH MORE THAN DECADE

What is the truest form of love? Is it Eros? Romantic and passionate. Physical and intense. Philia? Friendship. Pragma? Enduring and mature. Long-term commitment. Patience. Understanding. Or Agape? Selfless and unconditional without expecting anything anything in return. What happens when priesthood became an option for him when she wanted to serve God? And what happens when he will be same priest who will wed her with another? What is Love?

There are some things you don't lose because they were never yours to begin with. A person who never loved you back. A friendship that slowly became a memory. A version of yourself you had to leave behind. Words you never found the courage to say. *Never Mine* is a collection of poems about wanting, losing, becoming, and letting go-about the people we couldn't keep and the pieces of ourselves we left behind trying to do so. For everything that was almost. For everything that mattered anyway. *Some things were never mine. I loved them all the same.* - X

[Winner of the Special Poem Category & 3rd Best Prose Poem in the Summer Poetry Awards] Tides of the Soul is a poetic, reflective novel about healing, self-discovery, and learning to let go of what no longer serves us. Just like the tides that carry away the old to bring in the new. Life moves like the ocean, always shifting, always changing. We hold on to pain like stones in our pockets, weigh ourselves down with the ghosts of what could have been, and let the past pull us under like an unforgiving current. But what if we chose to surrender? What if we let the waves cleanse us, let the tide carry away our burdens, and trusted that what is meant for us will always return? Through lyrical prose and deep introspection, Tides of the Soul takes you on a journey of release, acceptance, and renewal. A story of breaking free from the weight of yesterday and learning to embrace the ebb and flow of life. Like the ocean, we are meant to move, to change, to let go. And maybe, just maybe, we are meant to be free. #1 in SOULFUL #5 in INSPIRATIONAL

There are people who become part of your life without you ever realizing how much they will mean to you. For Amaya, Auden was simply a friend - someone who slowly became familiar, someone whose presence found its way into ordinary days and quiet memories. But somewhere along the way, something changed. A feeling she never planned for. A hope she never said aloud. A story she could only write from her side. So what do you do when something feels like it could have been, but never quite becomes? Perhaps some feelings aren't meant to be confessed. Perhaps some people aren't meant to stay. And perhaps an almost can still be a story worth telling.

Myra has never believed in spirits. She certainly doesn't believe in Eya, the mysterious FirstHeart said to have given life to all living beings. Nor does she believe in Guardians, wandering spirits, or the Silent Door waiting at the end of every life. Not anymore. After losing both of her parents without the promised farewell of the Parting Light, Myra has learned to trust only what she can see, what she can understand, and what she can control. Then, one ordinary day, she sees someone who should not be there. Adrian. A man she remembers from years ago. A man who insists he may be dead. Except Adrian isn't dead. As Myra is reluctantly drawn into a world of lingering spirits, unfinished farewells, and secrets hidden behind an ancient belief she once abandoned, she begins to discover that death is not always the end-and staying is not always an act of love. Some souls remain because they cannot let go. Some remain because someone else cannot. And somewhere beyond the Silent Door lies a truth Myra has spent years refusing to hear: Sometimes, loving someone means holding on. Sometimes, it means letting them go.

Some feelings are too heavy to be spoken. So they become words. What the Heart Couldn't Say is a collection of poetry, prose, and shayari about the things we carry quietly- the love we never confessed, the people we couldn't keep, the goodbyes we never said, the hope that refused to die, and the memories we learned to live with. Some pages speak of desire. Some whisper of love. Some are about letting go. And some are simply about the strange things the heart feels when no one is listening. For every feeling that found a home in silence- this book is for you. 🥀

Not a love story. This story follows Ling, a woman who never quite learned how to let herself be held-loved, cared for, or allowed to hope. When she loses the person who loved her selflessly, her world stops while Orm's continues. What follows is not a story of winning someone back, but of grief, regret, and the painful realization that love cannot survive on being taken for granted. Through an empty house, unfinished letters, and a wedding she can no longer stop, Ling learns the hardest form of love: letting go. This is what happens when you believe someone will always stay. Based on the author's real life. Dearest, I love you still. I'm sorry.

Some stories are meant to be lived. Some are meant to be written. This is a collection of everything I couldn't say. Of love that felt like home, yet somehow made me lose myself. Of people we wanted to keep, but had to let go. Of conversations that ended too soon, feelings that stayed too long, and nights when sleep was easier than facing our own thoughts. कभी किसी को इतना चाहा है कि उसे पाने से ज़्यादा, उसे खोने का डर सताने लगे? Or maybe, like me, you're simply trying to make sense of all the things you feel but never know how to say. So here are my "Jo Keh Nahi Payi " थोड़ी मोहब्बत, थोड़ी शिकायत, थोड़ा इंतज़ार, कुछ अधूरे ख़्वाब, कुछ आख़िरी अलविदा, और उन सबके बीच एक लड़की जो हर बार किसी को खोकर थोड़ी-सी खुद को पा गई। So, if you've ever felt too much, loved too deeply, or stayed awake with words you couldn't say..... welcome to my "Jo Keh Nahi Payi " शायद इन पन्नों के बीच तुम्हें अपना कोई अधूरा किस्सा भी मिल जाए।
