Luna: The Girl Who Forgot How to Smile is a heartbreaking story about innocence stolen, trust shattered, and a girl forced to grow stronger than she ever wanted to be. At just ten years old, Luna experiences something she doesn't even have the words to understand. What she buries as a "bad dream" quietly shapes the way she sees the world. Years later, when she believes she has grown strong enough to face anything, another terrifying night reminds her that danger does not always come from strangers sometimes it lives next door. What follows is not just a story of survival, but of the invisible wounds that remain long after the world moves on. Through hospital walls, sleepless nights, silent panic attacks, and glass office buildings filled with judging eyes, Luna fights a battle no one can see. She struggles with fear, broken trust, and the haunting echoes of stories of other girls who never made it home. This novel dives deep into the psychology of trauma how it changes the way a woman walks, speaks, trusts, and loves. It explores the quiet strength it takes to wake up every day in a world that feels unsafe. But above all, this is not a story about weakness. It is a story about survival. About the courage to run. About the courage to stay. And about a girl who may have forgotten how to smile but never forgot how to fight. A deeply emotional journey that will leave readers in tears, questioning society, and holding their loved ones a little tighter.

A collection of poems that speaks of pain, loss, and silent battles. Each piece carries the weight of brokenness, unanswered prayers, and scars left unseen. These are the words of a soul that has tasted grief, lived in shadows, and learned how to bleed quietly.

"She was the girl who prayed every night, who whispered her wishes to the stars and trusted the heavens to listen. But somewhere along the way, the stars stopped shining, the prayers went unanswered, and she was left alone in a world that seemed to forget her existence. Abandoned by fate, ignored by the divine, and scarred by her past, she walks a path of loneliness and longing. 'The Girl God Forgot' is a tale of heartbreak, resilience, and the search for meaning in a world where even the gods seem silent. Will she find the strength to rewrite her destiny, or will she fade into the void, forever forgotten? Perfect for readers who love emotionally driven stories of loss, hope, and self-discovery."

This is a journey of resilience, pain, and self-discovery. Forged in the Dark tells the story of a soul molded not by comfort, but by struggle. Carved by nights unseen, shaped by the moments no one witnessed, and forged by the pain no one cared about, it is the testament of someone who built themselves in the shadows, learning to rise and find the light. Each chapter explores the battles fought in silence, the scars that remain, and the strength that emerges from surviving the unbearable. It's a story for anyone who has ever felt broken, lost, or invisible-a reminder that even from nothing, one can stand strong.

Elara Maris Alcantara has spent years proving her worth in a world that never seems to notice her. She works harder, stays quieter, and endures more than most-because survival isn't about being exceptional, it's about persistence. But when a mistake is made while she's on leave, her name becomes the easiest one to blame. The people she thought were colleagues-her team lead, her supervisor, even her own teammate-conspired to erase their own failures, weaving a lie that threatens everything Elara has worked for. She has always swallowed injustices, burying them beneath silent endurance. But this time, silence won't protect her. For the first time, Elara must decide whether to fight for her truth or let herself become just another forgotten casualty in the corporate machine. Because if she lets this go-who will she become?

A collection of thoughts, emotions, and moments that linger in silence. This piece delves into the quiet corners of the heart. The things we feel deeply but never dare to express aloud. From lingering heartbreak to quiet admiration, from anxiety in crowds to the joy of small victories, this is a mirror of the soul we often keep hidden.

This isn't an informative piece. This is much more of a compilation of stories (one-shot), poems, and literary works which is obviously from my point of view.

Transferring schools was nothing new to Zia-but this time, it wasn't just a new uniform or a different hallway. It was a new country. A clean slate. Once known for her violent outbursts against bullies, Zia never fought for power or pride. She fought because she couldn't stand watching cruelty win. Her fists spoke when no one else would. But the bruises she left behind began to define her more than the bruises she tried to prevent. Now, she's trying to change. To hold back. To find better ways to stand up for others-and for herself. But change is heavier than it seems. And justice, she learns, isn't about hurting the hurtful. It's about becoming someone better than what hurt you. Will the world finally see the real her? Or will the past she's trying to outgrow follow her into this new beginning? ____________________________________________ This book might have of errors in the spellings and the grammar used might be lacking.

A compilation of prose and poetries.

Every day, people travel in Mumbai's local trains carrying dreams, exhaustion, hope, and silent pain. This is not a story I learned. This is a story I witnessed- through faces, silence, and moments that pass between stations. I don't know their names. I don't know their stories completely. But I've seen enough to believe that every face carries a battle. This is what I saw- every day- inside a train that never stops.

--- 📘 Her Struggles Chapter 1: I'm 18... and Already Tired --- I turned 18 last month. There were no fireworks. No cake. No "welcome to adulthood" speech. Just me, my mother yelling in the background, a half-cooked bowl of indomie, and a voice in my head whispering, > "This is your life now." I used to think 18 would feel different. Maybe I'd wake up feeling powerful, like I finally had control. Instead, I feel... tired. And it's only just beginning. --- College is choking me. Assignments piling. Lecturers who don't even know my name. My part-time job at the local café keeps me on my feet for hours, fake smiling at customers who don't even look at me twice. Then I come home and still get asked, > "What have you even done today, Priya?" As if existing isn't already a full-time job. --- But then there's Raph. I met him two weeks ago. He's... different. Soft-spoken. Gentle. And the way he says my name? It makes me feel seen. And I hate that. Because I promised myself not to fall for anyone while my own world is falling apart. He always finds me after class. Says something stupid to make me laugh. Walks me to the bus stop like it's a duty. > "You're strong, Priya," he told me once. "But even strong people need somewhere to rest." And for a second... I almost let myself believe I could rest in him. --- But tonight, I cried in the bathroom. Again. Silent tears. The kind you cry when you know no one will come check on you anyway. I wrote a poem in my head: > I'm 18 With war in my heart And roses in my smile They don't know I'm breaking But I do it with style. --- Tomorrow, I'll wake up and do it all again. College. Work. Pretending. Smiling. Surviving. Because I'm Priya. And apparently, being 18 means learning how to carry the world - before you even know how to carry yourself. --- To be continued...

This is a heartfelt reflection of someone who feels unseen at home, unnoticed in school, and torn between weakness and faith. It tells the story of hiding behind ministry while silently battling doubt and low confidence. Yet, in the middle of pain, the essay holds on to hope-that even if the world makes us feel like nobodies, we are always somebodies in the eyes of God.
