I used to believe in love that lasts forever, the kind you read about in fairytales. But life taught me otherwise-hearts break quietly, people vanish without warning, and some lessons come in ways na hindi mo inaasahan.
Now, I'm chasing pieces of what could be, while the past lingers like a puzzle I can't yet solve. Somewhere between trust and doubt, hope and fear, a truth is waiting... hidden, patient, and elusive.
The question is,
will I find a love that heals me, or will I stay hidden, finding comfort in the shadows I know?

When Nothing Happens
Nidhu never imagined love could feel both so close and so far. She was a banker - steady, precise, grounded in numbers and routine. Ayunsh, her husband, lived thousands of miles away, chasing dreams in another time zone. Their love existed between screens - good mornings wrapped in emojis, and good nights ending with the sound of static. They were married, yet their days unfolded in different worlds. Hers began when his ended. The clock, once their silent witness, had turned into their greatest distance. Between work calls, family expectations, and the loneliness of empty rooms, Nidhu learned that waiting could be its own kind of devotion. This is a story about them - about love stretched thin across continents, about trust tested by time, and about the spaces between messages where hearts quietly ache. It's about learning that sometimes, distance doesn't break love - it reveals it. Because some stories don't begin with being together - they begin with learning how to stay connected, even when everything else pulls you apart.
Slaughter Man
Nasa camp kami for five days. Di ko ini-expect na sa abandoned mansion kami tutuloy. Before, pag naiinis ako, nagiging cold ako, but when i met him, everything change. Like nawala na yung dalawa kong bestfriend, nawala na din yung Prof namin, classmates, schoolmates, driver of buses, like ako na lang talaga iniwan nya. Ayokong mamatay sa kasalanang hindi ko naman ginawa. Pero sa unti unti kong nakikilala si Tom, may something na hindi ko ma explain sa isip ko na 'bat di ko sya kayang alisin sa isipan ko', hindi ko kayang mahalin ang taong pumatay sa kaibigan ko. Until the day that, i fall for him and he does the same, and i never regret it. I was so happy around him and i wish he does the same. For Tom, I Love You!Complete

We Grew Up, But Not Together
He wasn't my first love - but he was the first one who stayed long enough to make me believe in forever. Until he didn't. We were sixteen when we thought love could survive anything. We held on through distance, shifting courses, and growing pains. But when college came, so did the cracks - and eventually, the goodbye. I spent years healing the version of me that broke for him. And just when I finally felt whole again... he came back. But this time, he wasn't mine. He found me healed - and still managed to hurt me. This is the story of a love that didn't make it to the end... and the girl who learned how to love herself when he couldn't.
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
Worth Beyond Beauty
Hanggang saan aabot ang pag-ibig natin sa isang tao? Hanggang saan tayo dapat magtiis ng sakit para sa isang tao? Yan ang parati kong tanong sa sarili ko, bata palang ako. Pero hindi pala dapat. Hindi ka pala dapat magtiis kapag masakit na. Dapat pala matuto tayong bumitaw kapag sarili na natin ang nagdudusa. Love should be selfless, understanding and free. Love should not let us question our worth. No one deserves that. Love should make us feel that we are worth beyond our beauty. Love can wait.Complete
The Mess We Made
"Some groups weren't meant to last. But some stories weren't meant to end." College gave us memories. We turned them into a home. A group of strangers - loud, messy, inseparable. We shared assignments, heartbreaks, hostel rooms... and secrets. But somewhere between promises of "forever" and the pressure of growing up, we broke. Not just the group - us. One fight. One betrayal. One night that changed everything. Now, years later, we're back. Same people, same laughter, same vibe - just buried under layers of silence, awkward glances, and the mess we never cleaned up. A wedding brings us together. But closure? That won't come easy. Because buried feelings don't stay buried when the dhol starts playing and your ex-best friend catches your eye again. 💔 Friendships will be tested. 🕊 Truths will unfold. ❤️🔥 And some hearts might fall... all over again.Complete
My Best Accident I (IN PRINT)
Why must we always dream of fairy tales? Why do we insist on thinking everything will be perfect? Why do we limit ourselves to imagining only moments of joy and not of sadness? We live in a world where perfection is an illusion, where those who seem perfect reveal themselves to be deeply flawed. We cling to dreams of eternal happiness, believing we can escape pain and disappointment. But is that really true? Everything changed the day I met him. He was my greatest danger-the boy I fell madly in love with from the first moment I saw him... from a distance. His presence disrupted my world, and I realized that true magic doesn't lie in perfection but in imperfection.With him, I experienced a whirlwind of intense emotions, from the purest joy to the deepest sorrow. I learned that love isn't about avoiding suffering, but about finding someone who is worth facing those challenges for. Because in those moments of sadness, I discovered strength within myself and in our relationship.That's how I came to understand that fairy tales are not perfect; they are filled with trials and hardships. And it is precisely that struggle that makes them real and meaningful. True love isn't a path without obstacles-it's a journey in which both people grow and become stronger together.Complete
