For seven years, Riya chose him. His messages. His promises. His silence. His "almost love."

That day, something inside her breaks... and something else is born. This is the story of a girl who loved too deeply, waited too long, hurt too quietly- and finally learned to choose herself.

"She's a quiet girl who finds love only in the books she reads. He's a reckless soul who writes lyrics to heal his own scars.

But can two souls, scarred by their past, write a forever together?"

Dollhouse Rules, a Melanie Martinez inspired story about Khloe, a girl who looks perfect on the outside but struggles with deep insecurity on the inside, constantly feeling like she has to try harder to be enough. Living in a broken home with an emotionally absent father, a mother who uses alcohol to cope, and a brother dealing with his own struggles, Khloe hides her pain behind a polished image while her twin sister Crybaby expresses emotions more openly. As she goes through school and daily life, Khloe slowly realizes that perfection isn't what she needs, and she begins the journey of figuring out who she really is beyond the expectations and pressure around her.

A soul is born weightless, nameless, pure- It takes a body to endure. To touch, to feel, to rise, to fall- It needs flesh to answer the world's call. And just the same... This body of mine-warm, breathing, alive- Needs a home in which it may survive. Not just four walls and silent air, But a place where love dares to care. After marriage, they said, "You are home." But I wandered like a prayer without a dome. A sacred flame with no temple walls, A poem unspoken, a voice that calls. They dressed me in silk, in vermilion light, But never asked if I slept through the night. Their house was built on lineage and pride- But where in those bricks was I meant to hide? I smiled like a guest, walked on eggshell floors, Each corner echoing locked-up doors. I left my motherland, my girlhood room- And entered silence dressed as a bridegroom's bloom. But what is a house without embrace? A grave with curtains, a roof in space. No eyes that searched my soul to see- No hands that built a place for me. They gave me food, gave me rules, But not the freedom to break their tools. A soul needs a body to feel at peace- And a body needs a home to release. Not shelter from rain or shade from heat- But a truth-soaked ground beneath my feet. A window that knows my weeping face, A room where I'm not out of place. I became homeless, not in street or stone- But in the absence of being known. In every house, I was but a guest- A body dressed... but never blessed. And yet, I rise-slow, fierce, and still- With emptiness now shaped by will. If no home claims this sacred form, Then I will build it in every storm. In my silence, in my breath, in my art- A sanctuary grown inside my heart. For I am not lost, though no one waits- I am the keeper of my gates. Like the soul once found this mortal clay- My home shall find me... one day.

"This isn't a story. It's survival-written in scars and silence." Welcome to the pages of a girl you'll never meet-but whose wounds may look like yours. In these entries, I share it all: the first heartbreak, the silence of trauma, the things I never had the courage to say out loud. No names. No filters. Just truth. If you find yourself in these pages, feel free to stay. You can even leave your own story in the comments. Sometimes, being strangers makes it easier to heal. Trigger warnings included. Read with care. -She Who Writes in Shadows

I have forgotten who I am... Somewhere along the way, I lost myself- Not in dreams, not in love, But in the silence of giving too much, And receiving too little. Now, I'm just flowing with time, Not living, just existing- Like a leaf drifting on the river of life, With no anchor, no destination. I no longer love anyone in this world... Because the love I gave-pure, selfless, and deep- Was met with silence, with denial. Those for whom I lived, Turned away when all I needed was to be seen, To be valued, To be held-just once-with the same truth I offered. And in the shadows of these broken echoes, I now turn to the one person I abandoned the most... Myself. I am learning, slowly, painfully, To love myself again- To pick up the scattered pieces of my soul, To whisper gently, "You matter... you always did." I am searching for a place... A space where I don't have to prove my worth, Where my silence is understood, Where my heart can rest- In this world that is as beautiful as it is cruel, As magical as it is merciless. I'm not looking for perfection anymore- Just peace. Just truth. Just a quiet corner of the world Where I can simply... be. 😊😊😊

A story about fear that steals childhood, and hope that rises from the ashes of pain. It tells of a girl who lost her trust in the world after a painful trauma, but found her way back through something simple that brought her life again - light.

Some stories don't begin by chance. They begin long before we even realize it. They begin in moments we consider ordinary - in glances that last a second longer, in questions that sound innocent but hide more than we expect. They begin in friendships that seem solid, yet carry small cracks within them, cracks that slowly widen over time. Rosalie had always believed her life was simple. Work, weekends, small rituals that gave her a sense of certainty. And Christine. Always Christine. She had been part of her life so naturally that Rosalie had never stopped to ask where she ended and where someone else began. Some boundaries remain invisible until they are crossed. And some feelings remain unspoken until they start to suffocate us. But then comes a moment. One meeting. One decision. And everything we once believed to be certain begins to slowly fall apart. This story is not just about love. It is about freedom. About the courage to leave. And about the truth that sometimes we must lose everything in order to finally find ourselves. And this story is just beginning.

You can abandon toxic people to form healthy boundaries that will better your life in the end, no matter how difficult it is to walk away... but you can't abandon your body because of an unhealthy relationship you have with your curves, stretch marks, cellulite, thick thighs, or bushy eyebrows. Healing from body negativity is as complex as saying "time heals all wounds" but no amount of time will bring back the hateful words you don't deserve to hear. Healing starts when you dive into the deepest parts of yourself to examine, hold & kiss the body that your souls drives. It's the importance of embracing & loving yourself for who you are. Never questioning the physical, emotional or historical traits that you were gifted with & learning to flourish & love yourself in every which way that you possibly can. You don't owe no one an explanation for why your belly holds rolls instead of abs, you don't owe no one an explanation for why your thighs stick together & jiggle when you walk & you definitely don't owe no one an explanation for wearing a bikini no matter what body type you have. This poem is the start of a journey to understanding the genuine beauty of my sway, of how my mind & body work together to heal, conquer and fight off. The patience of learning how to treat my body with care & compassion, no matter how much the bad thoughts want to pull me back in. As I nourish my insecurities in the best way that I can to make myself feel secure again. Here's to loving myself, and hoping you take the time to be patient with how you treat your mind and body too. Give yourself the ability to take space, flourish & embrace the beautiful ass human being that you are! Dust yourself off, lay the negative thoughts at rest and dress yourself up with confidence. Never let go of the love you have for yourself, never stop nourishing and taking care of yourself.
