Somewhere Between Then and Now
Arin never meant to fall apart. Not loudly. Not dramatically. Just quietly - one bad day at a time. At fourteen, he feels invisible at home, disconnected at school, and trapped inside a mind that won't slow down. His friends want popularity. His parents want perfection. Arin just wants to breathe. After a night where everything cracks, Arin begins the slow climb back - through music, drawing, new friendships, and the quiet moments that rebuild a person when nobody's watching. A story about breaking, healing, growing, and learning to stand again. Not perfectly. Just honestly. A deeply emotional coming-of-age journey for anyone who's ever felt lost between who they were and who they're becoming.
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
THE SOUND OF BREATHING
Synopsis: The Sound of Breathing follows Adira Kale, a young nursing trainee with generalized anxiety disorder, who is assigned to a psychiatric ward for her clinical rotation. There, she meets Elias Verne, a brilliant yet troubled bipolar patient with a history of manic episodes and depression. As Adira becomes increasingly involved in his care, their connection deepens - both of them grappling with their own personal battles. Elias challenges her understanding of what it means to truly care, pushing her to question the fine line between control and compassion. Through their conversations, moments of vulnerability, and shared silences, Adira learns that healing doesn't come from medicine alone. It's a quiet, ongoing act of understanding - a delicate dance between letting go and holding on. This novel is a journey of self-discovery, mental health awareness, and the power of human connection. It explores how our emotional struggles can both isolate and unite us, and how sometimes, the smallest moments of understanding can be the most profound.
DAMAGED : Beneath the waves

Each chapter is a wave - sometimes soft and slow, sometimes violent and consuming - revealing how pain shapes, breaks, and rebuilds the soul. In the depths of loneliness and self-discovery, Damaged reminds us that even the most shattered hearts can find peace beneath the waves.

Have you ever wanted to get inside the mind of that person? This poetry is mine. This is me, opening my damaged mind to be discovered. Inside you'll find the raw emotions of a truly broken soul.Complete
