A month ago ,I was thinking that i will be turning 23 soon and what have I achieved?
What have I accomplished?
Am I even worthy if I haven't ?
This actually started out as a means to validate my worth and along the way I realised that nothing or no-one can decide my worth but me , that my existence does not have to be validated by my accomplishments , that I carry a whole universe inside of me and it's more than enough , had always been , will always be .
I'm doing this because I can, because I want to and because I love writing.
So what started out as a way to validate my worth is now a reminder that I'd always been worthy .
I just needed to acknowledge the fact, that you do what you do , not to define or validate your worth , you do it cuz are capable and you CAN and you love it . This book, is my first , my first complete story, and has my heart in it , it helped me see myself and realise alot of important things, and now I put it out into the world, a story that, I hope atleast has an impact on one person, well it did on me , so I guess the job is done but I hope it does touch a few more hearts.
All love,
Gayatri

Atlantis Academy: The First Element
Five Star Reviews for Atlantis Academy: "Omg this book was amazing I couldn't put it down or stop reading. I carried it with me open on my phone while I did everything just to keep reading. I need more of all of this. Epic story, epic content, epic visuals, just epic. LOVE THIS!" "Once I got into this story, I did not stop reading it. This is a beautiful story about a very awkward girl who is riven with so much pain and angst and yet... this makes her who she is and shapes her into the person she will become. The world she finds herself awakened to is magical and yet filled with the all-too-familiar cliques and tribes of the very human people who inhabit it. One word to describe the story: beautiful!" "The story pulls you headlong to the end and leaves you wanting to shout "No! Not yet!" ...If there were 6 stars, I would have given it that." *** Humanity is one secret society away from extinction. The children of Atlantis use magic to keep us safe. If they make it through the Academy. Hi, I'm Lyric. And I'm kind of a mess. ADHD, that's me. I'm a high school drop-out, late everywhere I go, and one screw-up away from being homeless. I'm a loner, and I like it that way. Who needs friends when you have a Redwood forest nearby? Trees never bully me like the kids did at school. Or get drunk and throw things at my head. After my mom died, I figured life couldn't get much worse. I thought it might even get better. Ha. The universe has a great sense of humor. I should've listened to the rumors about evil spirits. About the angry, ancient magical creatures haunting our small Oregon Coast town. But did I? No. That was my first mistake. And it might be my last. 'Cause now I'm in a battle for my life. A whole new world has opened up... a magical world I don't understand. And the blood in my veins says I belong here. But I have to prove myself to save myself. And when have I ever done that?Complete
Two Unfound Love
I believe that each of us deserves a chance at love. And I know it sounds silly that there's someone out there for everyone but I believe in love. Now I know some say there's no such thing as true love, that it all ends in heartbreak and pain, but I think that's the beauty of it. To have something so perfect for such a short while, and then for it to disappear into nothing. It's an endless loop, never-ending, always on the move. You never know where it will take you. That's the thing about love, it's so beautiful and mysterious and magical. I believe we all deserve a chance at love because we deserve something magical. And for me, my magic started at a simple Ice Rink one cold night. Because your love is so whole, my missing pieces appear. Because your touch carries such passion, what was scarred becomes soft once more. Because you are steady and patient, my open wounds have time to seal and vanish. Perhaps that is why they say love is such magic, this gift from the universe, this sweet addition to the man I was born to find. For with my twin soul, the only other born in the same flame as I, we are able to bathe one other in warmth and light as easily as we breather, immune and oblivious to darkness. This story has mature parts. The mature parts have an asterisk.Complete
DIVINE LOVE
Hello everyone.... So this is my first story content that I write. This story is totally based on fiction...in which have a lot of fantasy, mystery, romance and thriller...it's just an imagination. If you start reading, so you can't stop to yourself to know...what's the next? "This is the tale of a girl and a boy-two souls bound by destiny. She is a girl who carries endless warmth within her heart, a softness spun from dreams and devotion. Her love for him is fierce yet tender, an intensity that could melt even the coldest of hearts. She alone holds the power to turn his silence into song, his cruelty into care, and his heartlessness into a divine, love-soaked tenderness. For him, she is not just love-she is transformation itself. He, on the other hand, is a man carved from stone-ruthless, unfeeling, feared by the world. His heart knows no gentleness, no mercy, no emotion... except when it beats for her. For her, he burns with a passion that borders on obsession, a divine fire that consumes only in her presence. To the world he remains untouchable, cold and cruel, but before his little beloved, he softens, melts, and surrenders-becoming hers in the truest, most profound way." "Both of them had walked through tragedies so dark that their hearts were scarred forever. Yet, neither of them knew that life was about to change completely. From enemies, they would slowly turn into lovers-destined for each other. When together, they created a kind of magic that only true souls can make. They became each other's biggest support system, healing one another in ways no one else ever could. In every prayer, they carried each other's name, and with every heartbeat, they kept falling deeper into a divine and eternal love." I need your love and support. I am a little bit nervous but it's gives me an excitement also and some another level of happiness. Interesting twists on the way. WARNING:- This context may based on sexual harassment, drinking, smoking, and dark sences.
