Back in college, I was staying in my aunt's house. She was cleaning some old photos and files. We were looking at the random yellowish pictures scattered on the floor. Then she handed me a paper. It was brownish and a little crumpled. I carefully opened the delicate paper that was over two decades ago. I noticed there were hand written words on it but didn't realize it was a letter until I started reading it. The blue ink is starting to fade and some words were missing but manage to finish it.
It pierced my heart knowing that it was a letter that my mom made for her mother who died on December of 1975. It's was during Christmas time when she wrote this.
This letter struck my heart deeply that I wanna go home right away. That I wish it would be Saturday so I can tell and show it to mom. That auntie Fe kept her letter all these years.
This letter is full of hope, sadness and grief of a daughter who longs and wish to touch and be with her mom once more or only that Christmas eve. To lessen the pain and hurt she was feeling that cold, lonely night of December.
I hope this inspires you as well. That is it never too late to show your mom or dad how much you love them. Words can mean so much. Actions take place if you're out of words. Before it's too late, before they're gone....

"Would you not do that, Cupcake?" He moaned. "Cupcake, really? We escalated to pet names?" I said annoyed. "Well you haven't confirmed your name, so yeah." He responded getting up. "Fine if it means you'll stop calling me Cupcake, my name's Marie." I told him. "Good to know Cupcake." He smirked. I just rolled my eyes and turned back towards the classroom. "Hey does it look like I was done talking to you?" "Does it look like I care?" I asked turning back to the classroom. ------------------------------------ People think I am a normal girl. That's not how I would describe it. My dad was a CIA agent, before he died when I was 10. He trained me so, I can take care of my mom and I. I thought I wouldn't have anymore issues. I wouldn't need to live in fear of someone trying to hurt us. But then when I came home from school my mom was gone. The only thing there was a letter.

All Of You
(Though highly recommend to read the book "Obsession, Madness & Love" first, this book can be read as a standalone.) ____________________________________________ I made a mistake. A terrible one. I betrayed my best friend. The only person who ever cared for me. But I had no choice. Then there's his younger sister, Maria Andrews who always looked up to me as if I was some kind of an angel, little does she know that I am far away from that. And now I am on the run, trying to leave everything behind. But it's been four years, four fucking years since her eighteenth birthday when she confessed having feelings for me. For Me. And her words still haunt me, the tears in her eyes when I rejected her still burn my heart but I did what I had to do. People don't love me, especially women...they only seek pleasure from me. I am not a lovable person and someone you should definitely steer clear of. Getting involved with my best friend's (or ex best friend's) sister is stupid and I'm fucking mature enough to not even think of her, of someone who is eight years younger than me. But now, she is here and God help me, I am about to cross every fucking line.Complete

Destined by Love
"I know it was wrong for me to force you into this marriage. I'll file a request for annulment." I added half-heartedly, knowing that I'll die without her and she doesn't want to live with me "You will really give me divorce?" She asked as her fork stopped midway forgotten. "You were right we both need to move on. I cannot force you to live with me because of our past. I know I hurt you bad in the past and that I am still hurting you. You wanted to end this marriage, I'll free you from this forced union." I added. "You are leaving again?" she asked, pain etched all over her face. "Eventually." "You don't have to leave." "I can't stay here. I always end up hurting you. And I love you too much to see you in pain." "When will you be leaving?" She asked. "After the term ends. I promised Pranay uncle teach till the end of this term." I said walking away from the dining table. She just hummed. After a pause she suddenly asked "Why did you leave me Neev? Not once, but twice." I turned and looked at her. "Ari....I..." I stammered. "Please. I need to know. I cannot kept doing this. You cannot waltz in and out of my life every time things get difficult. I need to know why you left me all those years back. I had lost mom already. You abandoned me when I needed you the most. I need closure. I cannot spend every moment to my life wondering why you left me." She pleaded. "Because I killed her..." I cried further breaking down. "I killed your mother." * * *Complete

all the things I never got to tell you.
"I like that I can read this in a child like voice for the beginning and that it's descriptive yet secretive." "I have so many things to say, but I'll start with, this was amazing. You seriously depicted every emotional turn with such great detail and strength and it's simply amazing" "You never cease to amaze me." * All the things I wish I could say but life just got in the way.

Finding Purpose (+18) ✔️
***this book contains suicidal thoughts and tendencies, may not be appropriate for younger audiences*** In which she looks for the purpose of life. Lily Carter's parents died in a car crash leaving her and Laura, girl was depressed long before her parents passed away and with all the problems turning up now, Lily felt more miserable - if that's even possible. With her journey to look for life's purpose and grab the small pinch of HOPE - which is ironically her second name -, will she finally snap at the pressure and finally end it all? or will a small light lit her darkened world of grief and loneliness? * "So you know. The little goth girl who gets bullied is indeed a mess. There's this mess in her head that eats her alive everyday isn't it? What to do now Kaden? Tell the whole neighborhood and recieve an award for taking out a crazy in this world?" I spit like vomit. His eyes warmed up as I finished, "Lily. It isn't like that" "What is it then? People stopped caring... they gave up, why aren't you?" I fought my tears. "Because I feel the need to care. Did Leigh hurt you? Did she hit you?" he finally noticed the unusual redness of my cheek. I don't like the way he told me he needed to care for me. I felt like an obligation, a responsibility that he is carrying and carrying leads to getting tired and when people gets tired, they give up. I don't want them to give up on me. But they will, so it's good not to make them care for me in the first place. "I never needed anyone. I stopped needing anyone before, why start now?" I uttered the words again. Why? There is nothing to fight for. No mama. No papa. No sister to love me. No one. So why would I waste my life and the time of others to fix what is already broken - and someone who doesn't want to be fixed? If I may add. Maybe I gave up. No, scratch that. I gave up a long time ago - when my parents died, my hope and purpose went away with them.Complete
