Twentysomethings Stories

This book is a raw, reflective journey through fear, self awareness, faith, and healing. Told through quiet moments, spontaneous drives, music, and inner dialogue, it explores what it means to sit with discomfort instead of fighting it and to slowly learn self compassion. Blending personal experience with spirituality, autism, and mental health, the author reflects on how fear can shift from a burden to a guide, and how presence, honesty, and small perspective changes can lead to meaningful growth. This is not a story of perfection or instant healing, but of learning to move forward gently, imperfectly, and with faith.

Episodic adventures of a group of supernatural friends living in the city and trying to get by. Published whenever I damn well feel like it. Odette "Dot" Hollister is a girl who dated Satan. Dan Crossbone is a hipster skeleton. Atreyu Malankian is a misanthropic and out of shape werewolf. Messelin Vin is the pixie daughter of the CEO of a multi-national corporation that might just be evil. Lana Tatiana is just an elf-trans-girl from the south. They're friends, they have lives, they get together and drink and talk about problems and fall in love and fall out of love and sometimes they survive the ushering in of an apocalypse or two.

I do all the art myself, it's why all the illustrations look like a coked up toddler drew them.

Analysing friendships and people. Thoughts and advice from a twenty-something.

I was in the supermarket holding a bottle of red wine, pasta, a bunch of tomatoes, chips, and a bar of chocolate, when existential crisis hit me. I was ready to pay and go to my uncle's apartment where I was staying alone as a getaway from major depressive phase. While I was standing in front of the chips aisle with the wine bottle under my arm, I thought "is it adulting?" Going home alone for a movie night with homemade pasta and wine? In the sound of my short and comfortable heels, I felt the glance of adulting shine over me. The glance of light which lived shorter than the light speed. I quickly came back to my reality: What adulting are you talking about? You are 24, unemployed, never worked in your life. You probably will do nothing with your degree. You are in depression, feeling lonely, and shopping with your long-distance husband's money. Do you feel like an adult? Definitely, not. Do you feel like a broken twenty-something in existential crisis? Hell yes!
