Self-love Stories

She thought the dream life would finally make her happy. Alina has everything most people spend their lives chasing-freedom, wealth, a breathtaking home, and the ability to go anywhere in the world at any time. But as she slows down and begins to truly live in those moments, she realizes something unexpected: The life she built didn't heal her... She had to do that herself. Through quiet mornings by flowing water, journaling through old wounds, traveling across the world, and encountering moments that shift her perspective forever, Alina begins a deeper journey-one that has nothing to do with money, and everything to do with becoming whole. Dreams Abound is a deeply immersive, cinematic story about healing, self-worth, freedom, and what it really means to create a life you love.

2026 Leighyeann A. Mies All rights reserved cover by @breakdownwalls (Book 2 of the Braverly series) [COMPLETED ON 19/4/2026] *** Years after leaving her old small town behind, Braverly Lane is now an author and editor at a small publishing company. She has already published a book, which, however, hasn't found much success yet. A series of events, along with a lesson from the past that resurfaces, is bound to reshape her future in a way she has never expected before...

This little book is about a girl who built castles out of glances, who could imagine a whole universe out of a mere smile. In her little heart, one laugh of his became a melody, one silence of his became a storm. She didn't know much about him, not really, but her heart made up stories faster than her mind could stop it. Her heart. The damn heart. Couldn't it just do its job and pump blood? Wasn't it a sweet kind of madness? To fall for someone who didn't even know he was the sun in someone's sky. This isn't a love story, but a story of love, where blossoms bloomed like spring even in the middle of monsoon.

Some heartbreaks don't shatter you, they unravel you thread by thread, until you're forced to rebuild the parts of yourself you once gave away. "The Version of You I Never Met" is a "Tribrid" book, part memoir, part emotional guide, part psychological blueprint for anyone who has loved someone who couldn't love them back the way they deserved. Blending raw storytelling with attachment psychology, this book explores the very anatomy loving an avoidant partner, carrying emotional weight for two, surviving emotional absence and walking away from a bond you wanted to кеер. Through a story blood-stained with devotion, confusion, imbalance, heartbreak and clarity the author dissects the hidden patterns behind avoidance, the cost of loving someone who hasn't healed, and the quiet, almost celestial strength it takes to choose yourself when choosing them costs too much. Its not a story about blame it's a story about limits, healing, and the power of understanding the truth even when it hurts. If you've ever begged for clarity or felt invisible in the arms of someone you loved, this book will feel like finally being seen. If you're learning to trust again, it will remind you that healing is possible, and that some endings are actually beginnings in disguise. For the heartbroken, the healing, the emotionally attuned, and the lovers who have always loved too much. This book is your mirror, your medicine, and your metamorphosis. It will break you, then rebuild you. It will explain him, then return you to yourself. It will hurt - then then it will heal. "He loved you, just not in the way you needed. You loved him, just not in the way he could hold."

We are all running from something. In this raw poetry series, The Architecture of the Choose, I explore heartbreak-the fear of being vulnerable again, and the crushing reality of love that didn't choose you back. We play the games of Pretending and Ignoring, hoping the chaser never catches up. But what happens when you finally stop? This is a journey of outrunning the pain, only to realize the only way forward is to stand still and feel it all. These poems are the words I was too scared to write. This is the weight I am finally ready to put down. Poetry | Heartbreak | Mature Themes

What follows here is an anthology of poetry spanning a major transitional period of my life, beginning with the first one I wrote. From casual observations, to heartfelt love poems, to the depths of my journey with depression, my internal struggles with religion, and settling into my exploration of surrealism and aesthetic, this is what I have to offer of my soul. // Oh to be an atom, beholden to it all, I hope you find something in my writing, and godspeed in your journey through the stars. // Cheers and a thousand blessings, Michayla [trigger warning: brief references to suicide/self harm in "Musings Of A Caged Bird"]

''Through her eyes'' is a short dramatic story meant to help those who cannot find happiness in life. Here, respect and self-love are emphasized a lot, but also the way we interact with people. The main character is a little girl who wanted to escape from her world because she couldn't find her place, but after meeting her reflection in a magical lake and receiving a pair of enchanted glasses, the little girl begins to see the world with "different eyes".

It doesn't have to be so difficult.

For five years, Arumi believed that devotion was the key to a happy marriage. She let her hands grow rough from detergents, her skin dull from the heat of the stove, and her dreams die just to be the "perfect servant" in her husband's house. But to Adrian, Arumi is nothing more than an embarrassing, faded shadow-someone he refuses to bring to corporate parties. To his mother and sister, she is the lowest caste, valueless because she lacks a career, a title, or a child. While they mock her for "having no life," Arumi is keeping a massive secret behind her cracked phone screen. As her husband spends millions on another woman, Arumi is building her own world through the power of her words. This is not just a story of betrayal. It is the journey of a "dull" woman reclaiming her crown. Because when her patience finally runs out, Arumi will prove that happiness isn't defined by skin tone or status-but by how much you value yourself.

A personal poetry book. I use this outlet to help me relax during anxiety spikes, as well as my depression. Some of these can be pretty personal, and I want to use this outlet to not only reach out to others and help, but also relate to others. You're not alone.

A collection of poems that were written as a way for me to process my emotions. I've always had a love for poetry, and found comfort in the words of others while going through a difficult time in my life. Reading poetry helped remind me that I'm not so alone in this world, even thought it might feel like it sometimes. I began writing my own poems as a way to process my emotions and heal from the experiences I've been through. Writing has become my favorite form of therapy. My goal is that perhaps one day, someone will find solace in my words, just as I had found solace in the words of others. A new section will be posted each week. Each section will contain 10 poems. My goal is to have each new section published of Wednesday of each week. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my work. It truly means a lot to me.
