Becoming More Than I Am is a heartfelt and deeply personal story of resilience, ambition, and the pursuit of self-worth in the face of overwhelming societal and familial expectations.
As the only woman in her university and an aspiring doctor, the protagonist is burdened by the crushing weight of her father's disapproval and the community's skepticism. Every step she takes, every achievement she earns, feels like a battle in a war against not only tradition but also her own doubts.
When a critical chemistry assignment becomes the key to her future, she pours everything into proving her worth-not just to herself, but to a father who's never believed in her. Yet, even as she stands victorious, diploma in hand, she must grapple with a haunting question: Has she been fighting for her own dreams or for the validation of someone else?
Raw, emotional, and inspiring, Becoming More Than I Am explores the sacrifices and triumphs of defying expectations, the complex bonds of family, and the enduring struggle to define one's identity on one's own terms. Perfect for readers who crave stories of empowerment, determination, and the courage to claim a place in a world that insists on limitations.

The Lost Life of Laraine
She lead a rather tragic life. The black sheep of her family due to her lack of affinity for fire. Her affinity was quite the opposite. Water in fact. Already in a time when women did not really have much political power or rights, she was outcasted by her family despite being of nobility. Still allowed to live in the distant west wing of the massive Grand Duke's manor, she has never eaten a single meal with her family nor extended family, and has spent her loneliness in her books and sword lessons. Although only taught by the head butler and one of the low ranked knights of the family, she was quite bright and if her family would have given her a chance she would have done great things. If only she didn't die at such a young age. Married off to some "hero" of sort that had slayed the Dragon of the North who was terrorizing the land and threatened the kingdom, this hero also had an affinity for fire and held her in disdain like the rest of her family. Suddenly a girl of another world was transported to their world, picked up by this hero and put into his secure care. The pair soon fell for each other despite the hero's marriage, and many believed Laraine got jealous of this girl of mystery, and tried to kill her. This was definitely not true. But because the girl was favored by the temple and kingdom Laraine was quickly arrested and put on trial. You can probably tell what happened to Laraine. But something strange happened the day of her execution. As soon as her decapitated head hit the ground the sky turned blood red and it began to rain fire. No one survived that day. But for some reason time went back, and Laraine was back to being a child, but with no memory of her future. There were select few in her life, however, that remembered her tragedy and now perhaps will take action to prevent it. NOTE: I'M AWARE THERE ARE A LOT OF INCONSISTENCIES. IT WILL BE EDITED SOME DAY BUT RIGHT NOW I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH IT.
Pulse of a Heavy Heart
Working hard was my motto. I put it upon myself to please everyone, to work hard, and to make a life that would honor everyone in my family. Until I stepped into the cold waters of the real world, unshielded by my parents. Now, as a Integrated Cardiothoracic Surgery Resident, my life feels far from complete. As the youngest resident in an elite integrated cardiothoracic surgery program, Dr. Amara Iyers has always thrived under pressure. But behind her steady hands and calculated precision lies a heart weighed down by grief, self-doubt, and the relentless expectations of a family she can no longer lean on. Haunted by the loss of her parents and brother, Amara's every move feels like a test-her success a tribute to their sacrifices, her failure unthinkable. The endless hours in the OR and the constant demands of academic medicine leave her questioning her abilities and wondering if she's truly cut out for the life she's chosen. Outside the hospital walls, the silence of her empty apartment amplifies her loneliness, and the smiles she wears to mask her pain begin to crack. When an unexpected rival encounter forces her to confront her deepest fears and insecurities, following a life of love and romance, Amara embarks on a journey of self-discovery. Through the wisdom of mentors, the camaraderie of friends, and her own growing resilience, she begins to understand that healing isn't just for the body-it's for the soul. In a story of heartache and hope, Pulse of a Heavy Heart explores the pressures of perfection, the weight of expectations, and the power of self-compassion. Amara's journey reminds us that sometimes the hardest battle isn't saving a life-it's learning to live your own.
