What if you could spend a night in Jakarta with the real life Crazy Rich Asians?
Or visit an island where automobiles have been banned for over 100 years?
Or even hike to a samurai's castle at night?
What if you didn't have to do any of this alone?
While never lacking in adventure, the life of a foreign service worker can be lonely at times. Written on the road, these letters to my friends are about the precious connections I make with strangers while in the field and the worlds I wish my friends could experience with me. Some of these connections last well beyond the initial meeting; others, only for the moment.
Throughout my 10 year career, God has taught me that I'm never really alone. I will always be surrounded with companionship and love - I just need to give up my expectations of what that looks like and let God surprise me.

When our hearts collided
It was the biggest adventure of my life, and I was ready to make memories and have fun with my best friend for the summer. It would be a trip of a lifetime. I never expected that our worlds would collide. We came from total opposites tracks of life. Mine a simple and boring world and him one of Germany's most famous Tiktok creators. He was tall and handsome, and every girl wanted him; including me. When our worlds meet, would time be on our side? Would we be able to hold onto that spark that brought us together or will that spark fuse and leave us empty handed with nothing but memories and heartache?Kumpleto
If It Ain't Love, Then I Don't Know What Is
Senior high school was probably one of the best moments in life, at least for certain folks. We learn the meaning of life from those periods. It only happens 3 years for the majority of people. But the moments still linger on our mind. Example? Here it goes... "They say teenage romance is awkward-but nobody said it would come with strawberry perfume, secret siblings, and a weeb girl who could read minds..." "'Are you seriously making out with your twin?!' I screamed. Dani stood frozen. Daisy ran. And somehow... this all started with candied flowers." "An absolute affection coming from absurd person? Shining Glasses included... such an irony". And many more absurdity follows... Putra, a normal student that has been dragged everywhere... This story is based on an Indonesian High School, where a male teen discovers a new perspective on affection. *Notes - Sorry for my basic, amateurish English and story telling. I'll do my best to improve. Peace.
Outloved
**Part of Preloved Series- Can be read as a stand-alone** You don't have to read Preloved or Beloved in order to read this book. You can read this story on its own but my personal advice would be to read Preloved and Beloved first if you haven't already, but it's completely up to you guys! ---------------------------------------------------------- Love. A four letter word that holds so much feelings and promises. A word that puts all your emotions into one syllable and when we say it to that special someone, this word becomes the biggest truth of our life. With this word we share our life with someone else, someone we trust, someone we can't imagine our life without. So join me and let's experience it together. Let's witness another tale of love which tells a beautiful, whimsical story of a girl named Haya who was not expecting to fall in love with a boy quite like Irfan when she moves to Amsterdam for 4 months internship trip. She was not moving to search for a life, she already had a great life with no drama or heartbreaks... she wasn't running from anything. She just wanted to experience life a little more. Irfan shouldn't have been there. She wasn't ready for him. But he was there waiting for her. Or perhaps it was her own fate bringing her closer to him? Whether we call it fate or destiny or plan...when two people are meant to come together...universe conspires.Kumpleto
Their Possession
"What did you say?" Asher asked calmly. "I-I don't wa-" I was cut off by his loud laugh. He came behind me and wrapped his arm around my waist. "Looks like our little girl loves to daydream brother." He said to Alec who is watching everything with a blank face. He walked slowly towards us and stood in front of me. He grabbed my jaw harshly and said calmly "I dare you to say it again." When I stayed silent Asher grabbed my hair and jerked my head back "Answer him" he shouted on my face making me close my eyes in fear. How could I speak when they both are keeping me in between them like this. I took a deep breath to calm down my fear. I have to do this if I don't want to lose my life and my freedom to them. I opened my mouth and said those words which could only get me killed by them. ~~~~~~~ 18+ story. 🔞🔞
Altered
Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.Kumpleto
In Places Where You Are
Every love has a story. How you first met. Who said the first word. Even mine does. Seven o'clock is not the time anyone will think of falling in love. But as our worlds collided, we did just that. In a moment lost in space, a single introduction had changed everything. I wonder if things would have been different if the day we met came with a warning. A word to tell you that this was right or this could be wrong in so many ways. I wonder where he is right now. I wonder if he's happy with his life. I wonder if anything would have changed if we did things differently. Placing our hearts on the line and flipping the pages one after the other, our story was written. It happened before we knew it, and there was no way we could have taken it back. That's just how it goes. Every first love has a story. Do you want to hear mine?Kumpleto![Once Upon A Time [2p!Canada x Reader x 1p!Canada]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/76534810-256-k6467.jpg)
Once Upon A Time [2p!Canada x Reader x 1p!Canada]
[Please read Book 1: Once Upon a Summer before reading this, so you would understand. Thank you.] Last summer was quite a ride for you. You met Matt Williams, met his brothers and had a crazy summer adventure. You even managed to fall in love with Matt. It was a lot to handle but you kept strong. Now that summer has ended, you decided that it was time to move on from last summer. It was time for a whole new adventure as Matt Williams' girlfriend. However this adventure wasn't what you expected. In fact, it was something you would never expect to happen. Who would've thought that you'd find a secret pentagram that would teleport you to a whole different dimension? Sounds crazy right? It almost sounds impossible for someone with a life like yours. Almost. Considering how crazy last summer was, something like this had the possibility to happen. Now you've got to find a way back home. You have to get back to the world you've lived in for all of ypur life. You need to get back to the love of your life. Or maybe you don't have to. Maybe you can stay. Maybe certain Matthew Williams will convince you to stay.Kumpleto
Heaven On Earth
It seems like just yesterday I was saved. Not knowing what to do next or where I should go. Little by little I had to find my way and put together the lessons I was taught from different sources to seemingly lead a holy life. My supreme happiness came from when I found Jesus. Little did I know all I had to do was dwell in his heart and he would provide me with the wisdom I need and show me the things I could only fantasize about. Things like these seemed to me too precious to keep hidden, and that's when I knew I just had to share Who He is to the whole world. Visions, testimonies, miracles and more came knocking at my door leading me into a dose of Heaven on Earth. Blue Roses for My Bride series: Book 1 NOTE I am not a writer, but I do enjoy writing. I learn as I go where writing a book is concerned. So the book has a lot of flaws, typos and words may not be in the correct order. It may be a finished book but there is still lots of work to do on it. It is a draft of my process in writing the book, so please keep in mind that things will be constantly added, taken out or changed until it becomes how the Lord wants it to be. So when you do read it, please let the Lord guide you on discernment and help you to get on the right part with him. Please keep in mind that I am not perfect and I just wanna share the love and goodness of God. THINGS TO KNOW Feel free to check out my mom's website for more info about God and Heaven at: www.heartdwellers.org There are videos, pdfs, books and more.
