'A Life Made of Moments' is a book about love-and everything that comes with it.
It's about the quiet kind of strength we discover in ourselves, the kind that shows up when things don't go as planned, when hearts break, or when life asks more from us than we feel ready to give.
It's about the softness we carry even after being hurt.
The courage to try again, even when we're scared.
The beauty of simply making it through.
These poems aren't perfect-they're honest.
They're for the days when you feel too much, when you're tired but still holding on, when you're learning to let go or learning to love yourself again.
Because being human means feeling deeply.
And being strong doesn't mean never falling-
it means getting up, moment by moment.
And this is, for you.
لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا وُسْعَهَا
Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.
(Al-Baqarah: 286)

Unknowingly Loving You
Liking someone is a genuine thing, happy feeling that inspires and glimmers with hope. Despite preparation and belief, love comes without limits. No matter how we prepare and convince ourselves, when love comes, there's nothing we can do. It all started by denying it, and as it ended, it became undeniable. Loving someone came from an unknown reason, but we felt there's something between them that we just admire, or a deeper something we fall for. Love is a beautiful emotion, but we are conditioned to trust fate over circumstances. Despite emotions, taking risks is a game we can fight for. But is love supposed to be felt, not expressed verbally? The story of missed opportunities and lost relationships is mixed with beautiful moments when the right things happen to the right people at the right time and place for all the right reasons. The characters in these pages feel somewhat familiar, like old friends: the high school friends, the one who taught you that love can come from unexpected moments, even the truest, purest kind, holds no guarantees, the one who will never be yours, the one you regret hurting, and finally, the one who you pushed. Sometimes there are people who are meant to be each other, but sometimes it all becomes a lesson. These are people you've known or loved before, possibly even people you've been with. None of them were perfect, but they shaped each other to learn. This is not only a love letter to the past. It's a love letter to the present and its endless possibilities. It's a love letter to the future and all the decisions we've yet to make-all the times we'll choose love over and over. It's a love letter to pain and loneliness, for the power they didn't realize they had given us. It's a love letter to ourselves, for each time we choose to rise back up after being knocked down by love. And it's a love letter to accept and love itself in all of its grandeur, pain, wonder, and constancy. This book is a love letter, and it awaits you.Complete
After Everything
Prologue: Before the storm, there was softness. There was laughter in quiet cafes, late-night calls that turned into early mornings, hands tangled in each other like roots learning how to hold. There was a boy who made me feel seen, and a girl who still believed that love-real love-could be enough. We weren't perfect, but we were in love. The kind of love that feels handwritten by the universe. The kind of love you bet everything on, even when the odds start to shift. But the thing about love is that it doesn't unravel all at once. It frays. Quietly. Softly. One skipped detail. One unanswered question. One moment of doubt that grows roots while you're still convincing yourself everything's fine. This is a story about that unraveling. About the ache of being almost chosen. About trust that cracked before it broke. But it's also a story about resilience. About finding your voice in the silence. About choosing love-not just in someone else, but in yourself. Because sometimes the greatest love stories aren't the ones that come easy. They're the ones you fight for, walk away from, and learn to return to with open eyes. This is not just a love story. It's a reckoning. A healing. A reminder that sometimes, even in the aftermath, love still finds a way back. And this time, it's real.Complete

They never cured her before... so why would this be any different? "Kisses Didn't Cure Me" is a story about heartbreak, trauma, solitude, and the slow, dangerous art of learning to trust again.*Complete

Almost, Always 🍁🥀
"Almost, Always" 🍁🌹 Some people enter your life like whispers...soft, sudden, and gone before you can hold on. She didn't expect to see him again. Not after years, not like this. Not when she had finally learned how to forget the boy who never truly left her mind. But fate isn't loud..it's quiet, casual... cruel. In a classroom filled with noise, their glances screamed stories. A slow-burn connection, unsaid words, and almosts that could've been everything. This is not a fairytale. This is a memory rewritten..with the ending she deserved.

The purpose of this poetry book is one of defiance. Not to others, or anything in particular. It is against the war we wage internally, against ourselves every day. There is no bigger challenge in life than facing your thoughts, your true emotions, your feelings when you lie alone at night by yourself, cornered. We tend to postpone them, shelf them, as we grow accustomed to our daily activities, never giving ourselves a chance to evaluate ourselves. Who are we? what do we lack? what do we need? In this book, I took it upon myself to air out all of my grievances, my intimate thoughts, my happiness, my disappointments, my sadness all out in the open, for all to see. I wanted to face it all. To stare my mortality dead in the eyes, and let the lingering stare sit, I wanted to simmer the feeling of weakness, of every single type of emotion, completely digest it, and let it manifest genuinely, reading it, again and again, perfecting it, again and again, until the feeling of pain subsides. I there is anything that I want you to take from this book, is time. Yes, just a word, time. It goes by, so have not regrets, and never leave something from saying. If you are looking for a sign to remind you, to tell you parents, brothers, sisters, daughters, grandparents, wives, friends you love them? This is it...Complete
