Every love story is split up into pieces. Steppingstones. This series goes through my steppingstones.
Everyone has trauma in some form or another. You can't escape it. Trauma is natural. Trauma is pain. Pain brings panic. People react in different ways. They panic in different ways. This is the story of how I found out what my trauma is. How I found out my trauma. My pain. How I discovered my reaction to my pain. My panic.
This is a journey of self-discovery and healing. A journey of emotions and love. A journey of life and growth. But in the end growth hurts. Life hurts. Everything hurts when you have to fix it. In the end, trauma is a bitch.

Divided by love
This is not just a story-it's my story. A real, raw journey through love, betrayal, and finding my own strength. At just 17, I've faced more than I ever expected from relationships, and this book captures the emotional rollercoaster of it all. Every moment is a reflection of the truth I lived, a truth that continues to shape who I am. The chapters you read are real, and they're far from finished. This isn't a neatly wrapped tale-this is a journey still in progress. With each update, you'll experience the unfolding of my life, love, and the lessons that come from it all. This is more than a book. It's an evolving story, one that's still being written as I learn to trust myself, heal from heartbreak, and let go of the past. You're invited to witness this journey with me, because it's a story that's still being lived.
Amore.
This is a series of short stories, poems and thoughts I've written over the years, compiled into this collection. Most of these were written years ago. Some I've written as early as this year (2025). The purpose of this volume is to feel. Feel everything as though you are the main character experiencing each emotion expressed through my writing. These are written through my perspective as a woman, but please let this resonate with you regardless of your identity. Please vote, comment, like and share. Thank you! - nhiamareComplete

I headed for the front door and before I could push it open I felt arms wrap around my waist "Stop" I kept thrashing in his arms "Come on stop, your gonna hurt yourself more" I didn't listen I just kept trying "Keep her arm as still as you can!"

"Everything I Wish I Knew"
Everything I've always dreamt of was a fairytale type of romance. Everything I've ever wanted was to find my prince charming, one who buys me flowers and chocolates. Everything I've silently prayed for was for a hand to pull me from the suffocation torment I was drawing in. And my heart thought I've found all that since the first time I saw 𝐉𝐚𝐱𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐡; the most beautiful guy that made my heart flutter. But everything I thought I knew about love was wrong. The prince charming I thought was going to be my savior ended up being my destroyer. I'm 𝐊𝐞𝐢𝐥𝐚 𝐃𝐚𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐬, and this is everything I wish I knew before I fell for my cataclysmic prince.

To Be Torn Apart
For others, growing up means growing apart, but for us, it felt different. We were inseparable, two halves of a whole, convinced that as long as we had each other, we could conquer anything the world threw our way. We were bound by something that felt unshakable-a connection so deep, it was as if the universe had designed us to fit perfectly together. But life has a cruel sense of irony. None of us could have predicted that the very force keeping us together would eventually drive us apart. What we thought was our foundation slowly became the fault line of every crack, every misunderstanding, every silence that grew too heavy to bear. Sometimes love is like that-a double-edged sword. It builds and destroys, heals and hurts, holds and pushes away. And before we knew it, the thing we once believed was our greatest strength became the storm that tore us apart.
SACRED ECHO
Have you ever wondered what love really is? Is it the kind of love we see in stories, or is it something deeper, something that pulls you in without warning? Can love truly heal, or is it simply another word we throw around when we don't know what else to say? What if love isn't about grand gestures or perfect moments, but about staying, even when the world falls apart? In the end, what makes two souls truly belong to each other? Is it the moments of joy, or the quiet understanding in the darkest times? After reading their story, ask yourself: *What is love to you?* No , Not the one which you saw in movies or youtube or instagram reels neither the motivation lines you find in Pinterest apart from them what do you think love is to you ?Complete
