This book follows the tale of three who live in a fairly small town not too far from the other. Each have their successes and failures as do many who live in the world that we know. Some have gone through similar situations, yet some find a way to push through and some find themselves dug deeper into a pit.
It is a collection of stories from people who have gone through similar struggles and woven into a fiction story in an alternative reality of the world today. Hopefully you will grow to love and relate to one or more of the characters as they reveal their life story.
This story does not name any actual people, just the situations they have lived through.
This book has been an off and on work since 2014. It is still a work in progress and will be probably for a long while. Any parts of this book (including published parts) will be subject to change at any time.

Life is like a rollercoaster. It has its ups and downs, but it's your choice whether to scream or enjoy the ride. What happens when life throws you off track completely? Do you scream... or do you hold on tighter? For Ira and Rudraksh, the journey is far from smooth. One is suffocating under the weight of failure, the other carrying the fragments of a shattered heart. Two strangers, caught in life's ugliest turns, where every step forward is a fight against invisible battles. This is not a story of being saved by each other, but of learning to live despite the wreckage, of finding the courage to stand when the ground never stops shaking. However, if their paths ever converge, will they find solace in each other... or will their differences pull them apart? ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ This is a character-driven literary fiction set in a contemporary world, where every character breathes fully and every emotion unfolds in its own time. It is the kind of story that feels less like something you read and more like something you live beside, watching the characters grow, falter, heal, and discover themselves at their own pace. If you have a moment, and a heart willing to feel deeply and quietly, I invite you into this universe of mine. And if you wish to know more, simply explore the tags. They hold the essence of what awaits you here... with a little something extra, like a cherry on top. Copyright © 2026 Jambudweep.

In Loving Memory of My Brother
|5X FEATURED · SPOTLIGHT STORY| Learning to cope with death is one of the most challenging obstacles any of us has to face, especially if that death is unexpected. When your whole world has changed, what do you do to overcome grief and keep your loved one's memory alive? *** I never knew how much trauma could affect a person until after my older brother died unexpectedly on August 17th, 2021. I came out of the experience as not the Victoria I was used to, but the Victoria who now had a massive hole in her heart. I come from a long line of fighters. My family and I pulled off different strategies to help us move on from such a devastating death, strategies that I am going to share in this book. Sometimes, the best way to overcome grief is to write about it. After all, writing is an escape to a different world where I still have my Green Guardian. These pieces and pictures I'm going to share with you are not meant to depress anybody, but to illustrate just how wonderful a person Matthew was. His story is sad, but it's a story of hope. His legacy remains in my heart today, and I want to share it because I know I'm not the only person who has lost somebody so unexpectedly. *** Ovid (on when his brother died): "iamque decem vitae frater geminaverat annos, cum perit, et coepi parte carere mei." ("And he had just doubled ten years of his life when he died, and with him, a part of me.") ⭐ Featured on @StoriesUndiscovered || Change in Reality Reading List. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Personal Struggles, Essays, and Coping Reading Lists. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Our #NonFicSpotlight (May Spotlight) Reading List. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Past Spotlights Reading List. ⭐ Featured on @nonfiction || Memoir Reading List.Complete

When a girl with a troubled past filled with trauma, Disfunction, and chaos surrounding her...She wonders if the world and God had forsaken her to the life that she had to endure. Moving from state to state living with one foster stranger after the other and never found a home for real. Her best impression is a soft smile and a kind wave. A loveless child that yerns for a love she never knew. If she spoke to you with a sweet voice what would you say? If you looked into her soft brown eyes and seen how broken she was...how would you feel about her? If she wore a smile like a loaded revolver, would you play Russian Roulette??? ☣️Big Bunny Warning☣️ First and foremost I am as unfiltered as it gets. I do have a strong sense of creativity and that means that I will include real life trauma, real life events that can occur such as mentions of sushicide, Sexual Assult, etc. in what I write. I will write about any and everything. If your stomach, heart, and soul can't handle what I write, respectfully push off, side step, and don't read it. I would hate to trigger anyone so you've been warned😵💫
