But my life turned upside down when my past is exactly what I should have left alone. Now if you ask me how it all began, I don't exactly remember but I know it started when I moved in with my grandma who I haven't met in all my twenty years of living. I have been in and out of foster homes since I can remember, living with families I knew nothing about. Being the outcast and them constantly asking me what's wrong because I simply did not speak.

Pieces of My Universe: The Flame Who Woke Me
Pieces of My Universe Written in Multiple Perspectives · Set in the 1990s We were wild. We were lost. We were family. And none of us came out of it the same. In the vibrant chaos of the 1990s - a time lit with music, rebellion, and raw truth - Calvin, Hannah, Nina, and their crew of kindred souls form an unbreakable, found family. Each one carries shadows, secrets, and stories they don't fully understand yet. As they navigate the fire of first loves, heartbreaks, and cosmic questions, their bonds deepen - revealing profound truths about connection, identity, and the mysteries that tie us all together. Told through multiple perspectives ("God Mode"), this story lets you feel each character's inner world - the thoughts, feelings, and soul layers often left unspoken. With over 89 episodes written and a full book near completion, Pieces of My Universe is more than just a coming-of-age story. It's a lived memory. A healing scroll. And a wild ride of remembrance. I'm currently editing and rewriting for self-publishing - with lots of creative magic in store for the rollout :) Enjoy the experience. 🤗
