    She wasn't their sister. Not by blood. Not by name. But they made sure the world treated her like one. After a single act of courage leaves sixteen-year-old Meera Chaudary in the hospital, she wakes to find strangers by her side-a powerful family of brothers who refuse to walk away. They offer her protection. They offer her a new world. They offer her a choice she never thought she'd have to make. But stepping into their world means facing the parts of herself she's always tried to hide-and learning that some ties aren't written in blood, but in the quiet spaces where trust is born. A story of found family, hidden battles, and the quiet strength it takes to belong. ................................. This story is a work of fiction and the result of my hard work.

    They say life is a gift, but what if the gift comes with no warning? I was thrust into a world that demanded more than I could give, and every day became a lesson I never signed up for. I grew up fast, learning lessons that no child should know, facing storms I never asked for, and surviving battles I wasn't prepared to fight. Every smile I wore was a mask, every laugh a shield. This is my story - of pain, of betrayal, of fleeting joys, and of the moments that tried to break me... but didn't. Through heartbreak and hope, tears and laughter, I learned that surviving is just the first step. Some lives are written for us. Mine didn't ask for permission.

    Some houses shelter you. Others teach you how to disappear. In Part One: Then, Paris is a teenager navigating high school, first love, and loyalty to a family that is quietly unraveling. Inside a house ruled by control and unspoken fear, she learns how to stay alert, how to endure, and how to look steady even when nothing feels safe. What happens there will change her forever. In Part Two: Now, Paris is older-and no longer willing to let the past speak for her. With clarity and distance, she revisits the memories she once survived without understanding. She examines what silence protected, what it cost, and what it took to finally unlearn it. This is not a story about waiting to be saved. It is a story about what happens after survival-about memory, agency, and reclaiming the voice that was once forced underground. The House That Taught Me Silence is a powerful, emotionally layered novel about growing up inside harm, stepping beyond it, and choosing where the story lives next.

    The night they broke her, they laughed-because they thought she would never rise again. They were wrong. Pain didn't destroy her; it educated her. Every insult sharpened her mind. Every betrayal hardened her heart. She learned that survival isn't about staying kind-it's about staying alive. She once believed silence was strength. Now she knows silence is only dangerous when it ends. This is not the story of a girl waiting to be saved. This is the story of a woman who learned how to ruin the lives of those who ruined hers. 😈🖤 And this time, she is not asking for mercy.

    Rin Yaegama didn't train for the apocalypse. She didn't min-max a build. She didn't even mean to survive. When the world collapses, and a game-like System descends, survival is supposed to reward strength, strategy, and ruthless efficiency. Rin has none of that. What she does have is terrible luck, worse timing-and a strange tendency to live through things she absolutely shouldn't. Every mistake gives her points. Every near-death experience makes her stronger. Every "accident" forces the System to adapt. As monsters evolve, stats rise, and other survivors chase power, Rin becomes something far more dangerous than a hero: An anomaly. In a world where survival is measured by kills, Rin proves that growth doesn't come from domination-but from endurance, adaptation, and refusing to stay down. This is a LitRPG apocalypse story about failure, persistence, and becoming unstoppable by accident.

    These poems are pieces of my thoughts, my anxiety, and my growth. Some are heavy. Some are quiet. All of them are honest. This is a place for the things I never say. I'm not writing for perfection. I'm writing to understand myself, and maybe help someone else feel less alone. Includes themes of anxiety and mental health. I do not claim any images used as my own.
