Rasmus, frontman of the rising indie band Rouhi, is slowly unraveling. Amid growing fame and mounting pressure, he's haunted by a quiet emptiness he can't explain. When a devastating betrayal breaks him completely, Ras walks away from everything-music, love, and himself.
In a quiet town by the sea, he finds stillness... and people who don't ask him to be anything but real. An old man with a past, a girl with paint on her hands, and silence that heals more than it hurts.
But healing isn't linear-and some echoes refuse to stay buried.
The Sound of Stillness is a deeply moving novel about brokenness, beauty, and the long, uncertain path to becoming whole again. Told with lyrical prose and raw honesty, it's a story about friendship, creative freedom, and finding your way back-through music, through memory, and through the people who never stopped believing in you.

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.
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.
Cynical Souls
COMPLETED✅ Two high school teenagers finding themselves, analyzing this ever changing world, and building love. This is the type of love you wish you found in high school but probably know way too well that it only exists as fiction. Today I'm turning my fiction to reality. ❣️•••❣️ Excerpt: Just as I was about to seek shelter under some building's roof, the tires of a car come to a halt, I wonder who might pity the lonely girl walking in the rain. The passenger window rolls down, and I spot the most unexpected person seated behind the wheel. "Get in" comes out his voice, and I must've stood there agape for a few moments because next comes his rhetorical question. "Are you getting in or continuing walking in the rain?" Eyebrows raised expectantly. He sounds annoyed, like he regrets his decision to ever stop and help me. ❣️•••❣️ #5 in cynical #2 in loveandfriendship #1 in opinionated #4 in ihatelife #10 in nerdgirl #10 in HighschoolRomance #26 in GoodGirlBadBoy *contains mature themes. *contains cursing.Complete![Except You [Completed]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/122786241-256-k453495.jpg)
