Love is just a word until someone comes along and gives it a memory... You know you're in love when you can say anything to the person and you know they won't laugh at you. When you can see their face when you close your eyes. When you can still feel their arms around you holding you tight after they're gone. When you can still taste their kiss after you have said goodbye. You can tell you're in love when you miss them before they're gone. When their voice lingers in your ears. When their presence eases any pain. When their name sends chills down your spin. When they're the only thing you can think about. You know you're in love when you can see all their hopes and dreams and their soul when you look into their eyes. When they call you at four in the morning to say, "I Love You" and mean it. When your tears stain not only their shirt, but also their heart. When even a simple chore done with them can become a lasting memory. Ultimately, you know you're in love when you can't imagine living without them and can't figure how did you live before you knew them. When they fulfill every need and without them you're incomplete. The love of someone else completes the heart, and sound and mind all at once. 𝐝𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟓, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟎-𝐟𝐞𝐛𝐫𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟏𝟎, 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟏Complete

Painted in Love
Sariah's first year at Clark University is supposed to be about new beginnings, independence, and finding her path. But as she steps into the unknown, she finds herself caught between the expectations of who she *should* be and the person she's beginning to uncover beneath the surface. Her journey of self-discovery takes an unexpected turn when she meets Mercedes, her eclectic, Afrocentric, crystal-loving roommate who introduces Sariah to a side of her culture she's never fully explored. Mercedes' unapologetic embrace of her black roots and spiritual practices forces Sariah to confront the parts of her identity she's kept hidden or ignored, opening her eyes to a deeper connection to her culture. At the same time, Sariah finds herself paired with Drew, a mysterious and artistic classmate, for a challenging art project. Initially, Drew seems like just another classmate-but as their collaboration deepens, Sariah begins to see him in a different light. With Drew, she finds herself questioning more than just her art; she begins to wonder if she's ready to open her heart and take a leap into something more than just a creative partnership. Sariah navigates the messy, beautiful, and transformative process of learning who she really is, embracing her culture, and discovering that sometimes, the path to self-awareness is more about the people we meet than the answers we seek. A tale of friendship, love, and self-empowerment, this coming-of-age story is a celebration of what it means to find your roots while forging your own identity.
Last Chance at Love
Sasha Banks thought she had buried the past. Along with the silence, the heartbreak, and the man who broke her in ways she never admitted out loud. But when she's forced back into the same orbit as Cassius Henderson, the world knows him as a chart-topping rapper. She remembers the man behind the headlines, the one she loved, the one she lost. Guarded and grown, Sasha has no intention of reopening old wounds, but some truths don't stay buried. And neither do feelings. Cassius has spent years building a career most would envy, but success can't quiet the regret that lives in the spaces Sasha used to fill. The music, the money, the noise-they've all distracted him from what really haunts him: the words he never said and the woman he never stopped loving. As the two find themselves in shared spaces and shared memories, Last Chance at Love asks what happens when time runs out on avoidance. Sometime love does not fade. It waits. _______________ Disclaimer: This is my first book. I hope you like it!! Please Comment and Like!!
