Curiosity has killed many cats, and yet I am still here. Still unsure, still grasping to know more.
To know more about these distant lands, I'm forbidden to learn about.
To know more about the secrets each of these fable-like countries hold.
Grasping to stay alive.
What will win? My yearning for life, or my yearning for a freedom I free never truly existed in the first place.

I am Different...and that is okay.
In this book, you will read about all this time I've spent as a teenager, going through the ups and downs with friendships, goals, and personality. It is something like a diary to me, as I reveal my deepest thoughts. However, I also question a lot of things, such as relationships, human nature, and our own destinies. You will read about my special and rare talents, my excitement and passions, success stories, my sad and merciless fails, and my rather different perspective I have on this world. You will see the ups and downs of my life, as well as the questions I have for the future, because one thing's for certain, our worlds are everlastingly, continually, and are non-stop changing, and there's nothing we can do about it except write straight from the heart. I know I'm different, and that is okay.Complete
Love At First Sight | Completed ✓
"It's the first time I've ever felt such warmth - it made me feel like, I've been living with coldness within me all these years. I opened my eyes and turned around, wondering if anyone felt the same or if anyone saw the reaction I made. I looked at the church again - now I'm more curious than ever and I think I should just ask God what exactly happened to me just a while ago, here at the entrance of Saint Gregory the Great Parish." If your brain refuses to remember, will your heart tell you everything you need to know? And if fate refuses the idea of you being together, will love be enough to hold on and never let go? A story about the beauty and magic that comes with love, alongside the painful decisions we need to make just to fulfill our promises of 'I Love yous' and 'Forevers'Complete
My shelter from the storm
Anita," her angelic voice calls to me. Thunder rumbles in the distance. Her soft, delicate hands caressing my face, sparkling green eyes grounding me from the dark past I wish I could forget. "You're safe, it's okay." I bring my hand up, running my finger over the mound of scar tissue. The constant reminder of that night. The raised bump covers the bullet fragment embedded in my sternum. She takes my hands as more thunder rumbles and tears roll down my cheeks. "Breathe Anita," she says in a soothing whisper. My lungs were burning with the need for air and it was then that I realized I'd been holding it. I take in a gasping breath and recall the first time my eyes met her green eyes. My sister had been lifted off me and my eyes opening had startled her. The first time she touched me gave me strength to hold on. I held her hand tight, trying to tell her what happened, but couldn't get enough breath to form words. Sitting in the present going through the same as I had five years ago. "They were all found, Anita. They can't hurt you anymore. It's just a storm. All the doors and windows are locked, the alarm is set. It's just you and me." "Will you keep the light on tonight, please?"
