    They were born on the same night, as twins, into the same family. But from the very beginning, their lives were never the same. Adrian grows up surrounded by love, attention, and opportunities. Eden, quiet and sensitive, slowly finds himself pushed into the shadows of his own family. Years pass, and the distance between the twins grows until life takes them down separate paths. They grow up apart, carrying different memories of the same childhood and wounds that neither of them fully understands. But years later, fate brings them face to face once again. They are no longer the children they once were. One has learned to live in the light. The other has spent years trying to find his way out of the shadows. And when their paths finally cross again, they will have to confront the past that shaped them-and discover whether the bond they once shared can survive everything that came between them.

    Sprouts of Understanding is a quiet collection of prose poetries that grow from lived moments-pain, joy, silence, and survival. Each piece reflects what life teaches us slowly, often without words, like lessons planted deep and learned over time. These poems are the small realization we carry, the truths that sprout after hardship, and the understanding that comes only from living.

    Some scars never show but they scream the loudest. She laughs with her friends. She shows up strong. She's the one everyone runs to when they're falling apart. But no one ever stops to ask what hides behind her smile. In a world where silence is mistaken for strength and smiles are worn like armor, Amara carries pain too heavy for her age. Abandoned dreams, a fractured family, love that came too late, and a past that refuses to stay buried this is her truth, told in whispers, in shadows, in pieces she barely understands herself. The Silence Behind My Smile is a soul-stirring fictional story inspired by real pain, real healing, and the quiet strength it takes to keep living when you'd rather disappear. This is not just her story-it's the story of anyone who's ever cried in silence... and dared to keep smiling.

    This is my first story on here. I have made about 7 or 8 short stories, a few poems, and even fan-fictions,but that was back in middle school and kinda my first year of high school. I am currently in college and recently my love for creating short stories, journals, etc has come back (: This story, " Rosie" is actually the creative writing assignment I have been working on recently for my class and I have already done 11 creative journals and eww, some typical research essays haha. My professor really enjoys what I have came up with and it makes me so happy to feel I have that story telling touch all over again ( Sorry to make this so long) haha.

    Born into a home without love, Swathi's life begins with silence. Her parents live together only because society demands it, not because their hearts do. Arguments fill the house, affection is rare, and Swathi grows up watching two people who were never meant to be together. Born underweight at just 2.2 kg, Swathi's father never held her, never smiled at her, never treated her like his daughter. The only person who truly loved her was her ammama, who carried her in a small cloth, took buses across Hyderabad, and fed her goat milk to make her stronger. Ammama became her mother in every way except name. Swathi's childhood is split between two worlds: a middle‑class home filled with fights, and her ammama's rich, peaceful home filled with love. When her little brother Giri is born, Swathi becomes his protector. But even with two children in the house, her parents' relationship never heals. Swathi grows up watching other families laugh, celebrate, and live happily - while her own home remains broken. She learns loneliness early. She learns silence early. She learns strength early. This is the story of a girl who grew up between love and pain... and how she learns to build a life that is finally her own.

    Each step clicked sharply on the hospital pavement. Then, just before the gate - click-crack. "Oh Allah, not today," I muttered, bending to free my heel. And that's when I smelled it - smoke. His cigarettes. I looked up. Adam Taleb. Too tall. Too clean-shaven. Too unchanged. The sight of him felt like hearing a song you used to hate... but still knew every word of.
