By nature, I am someone who thinks about the world a lot. Too much, if you ask me. Through time, I began seeing things about the world that most people seem to ignore, issues that need to be registered. This book is compiled based on those issues, pieces of insight into how I perceive the world, and want to change it. Words that are pennies for your thoughts, challenges for what you believe is true.

Outlaw | 18+
READ TRIGGER WARNINGS! In a world where power is the ultimate weapon and betrayal is currency, the line between hero and villain doesn't just blur... it shatters. She's the woman you're warned about. She's selfish and deadly, you don't see her until you feel the knife in your back. He's the man everyone fears. He's cold-blooded and dark, the embodiment of vengeance in an expensive suit. They should have destroyed each other. But instead, they made a deal. She's playing a game with no rules. He's rewriting them as he goes. Together, they're a storm no one can outrun. Loyalties are broken, alliances burned, and blood spills in their wake. But when the smoke clears, only one thing remains certain, trusting the devil doesn't make you safe... It makes you just like him. She's the sinner. He's the executioner. And in their obsession, no one gets out alive. Some stories don't have heroes. Some don't need them. This is theirs. Outlaw - where survival isn't enough, and obsession is the only law.

Fine as Wine
You can find yourself drowning in a relationship that's not healthy just because you're scared of getting hurt. That's not ok. We all need to feel loved and if that's not what you're feeling then you're with the wrong person. You need to walk away and allow yourself to be free and let love find you because it always does. Just keep an open mind because it does not know age or skin tone. It knows chemistry and commitment 😉😉 Victoria: A successful woman with a broken heart, she has given up on love because it ruined her life. Will she still avoid it when the same feelings she has been avoiding stare right at her??? Ambrose: A successful man with only one mission, to be the best father he can be because his children are the only ones that will never take his love for granted. What will happen when he can't ignore his heart's needs? #1 - divorce 10/10/2023 #4 - billionaire 03/12/2023 #2 - maturescenes 16/12/2024Complete
Being the difference I want to see in the world.
As sad as it may be, we live in a world where the rich are getting richer, and the poor live in worse conditions every day. A world where people have to live behind masks and hide who they truly are, just to be accepted into this corrupted society. A world where everyone primarily thinks of himself and not about what he could to help his brother in need? Dive into my vision, be bold enough to read these chapters, and accept that you may have also been committing these mistakes that corrupt our society and together, let us grow into better versions of ourselves and begin to wonder; what if this had happened to me? How would I have reacted? What can I do to change my community? What if I decide to manifest my dreams every day instead of wishing they would happen? Every single part of this will be entirely unique but all interconnected by one subject, "the human nature". Only together can we change the world, don't be so lazy to think that it is the government's job to do so; take your responsibilities and act to see a change.Complete

Food For Thought.
I always loved that phrase -food for thought- and use it a lot, sometimes i even hashtag my posts with it. So i thought, it was very suitable and very me thing, to use it, as a title, for this book. This book contains, my personal story, what bothers me, what i want to talk about, what i need to let go. It would be a little bit, like blog posts, but in the form of a book. I hope you like it. :)Complete
