Being fluent in silence as a facade masking fragility by means of letting the chaos' demons live within me.
Is it wrong to yearn for such transquility?
I have grieved more than I've lived.
Isn't that enough of a punishment for a mere child?
My youth was taken away from me. I do not have my life on my own hands. I am not in control.
Isn't that enough reason to turn my back on my faith and try to escape my fate?
Does choosing to walk away in this society really do nothing but mess up how one perceives healing from suffering?
Then maybe, just maybe... insanity really is meant to be my reality.
Maybe there is truly no way out.

Emerald Eyes
I could've sworn I was in sanity but everyone thought I wasn't. The same thought whirled through the heads of my parents who specifically gave birth to me. With that, I found myself falling in love with my own solitude. I fought my demons alone. I chose to live by myself and isolated myself from the people I love. I'd been searching long and hard for a hand to hold. Then suddenly, a small light hidden in the depths of darkness flashed before me and the wall that I've been unconsciously building to protect myself vanished in an instant. Once again, I felt the affection and I was desperate to keep it. However, little did I know that a lot of malevolent eyes were keeping track of what I do. I am not who I think I am. The other world has confirmed it. But my past won't allow me to change. Will I keep on choosing love? Or will I accept my destiny that has been long engraved in the prophecy?

She Who Was A He (Hacienda Series #1)
Bawat kirot ay may katumbas na paghihiganti. Yes, every pain demands a payback. That's the first thing I learned when I loved him. Not consciously, not right away-but slowly, in pieces. He taught me how to love. His love was wildfire-reckless, consuming, beautiful in the way it ruined everything. I thought I was lucky to have it. I thought he saw something in me. Maybe he did. Maybe he saw the parts that were already breaking. He taught me how to bend the rules, how to silence the voice in my head that said "this isn't right." With him, right and wrong blurred until they didn't matter. Until all that mattered was staying close enough not to lose him, but distant enough not to drown. And then came pain. He taught me pain in a thousand unspoken ways. In words that stung more than silence. In apologies that came too late. In touches that lingered with regret. And pain... And pain. Again and again No fairy tale. No forever. It was never about soulmates. It was just... a story. A complicated, messy, painful story. But still, I gambled. I bet my heart on something that didn't deserve it. And in the end, that so-called love? It destroyed me. It didn't just break me-it broke everything I cared about. Everyone I loved. It burned through every soft thing I had left inside me. Because that love... Was disastrous. Behind the illusion of love hid everything I was afraid of: pain, betrayal, lies, manipulation. A heartbreak wrapped in promises. A knife dressed like a kiss. But here's what no one tells you: after heartbreak comes something sharper. Stronger. Revenge. And revenge-it's not sweet. It's not cold. It's best served hot. The kind of heat that doesn't ask for closure. It takes it. I, who was a he, now turned into a she. I will serve pain out of pain. Not to mirror the cruelty, but to remind the world: You don't get to hurt someone like me and walk away unburned.Complete
YuanFen
What we have is just now. As long as she loves me. As long as she wants to be with me. As long as there is 'we'. I love her! But the rainbow is not just a blend of vibrant and bright colors. It doesn't even stay for a long period of time-- just enough for us to see and in a fleet of time is gone, leaving us wondering if it's real. A rainbow doesn't have black and white. It wasn't just like that. Same as love. Same as us. There were times that i want to give her up. Not because my love did fade, rather, my love is too much. Too much that letting her go is the only option left for her to choose me without hesitation, without guilt, freed of lies. I want her to grow, to weigh things as it is. I want her to make me feel that being with me is her choice. I want her to realize that i am hers and that she have to surrender herself to me as well. I want her to love me because that is the way she feels and not because it was the safest way. Being with her is paradise. It was a mixture of colored pastel. It was too vibrant to explain. But at a sudden twist of downs and ups, we are shaking. Loving her has become my weakness. The weakening thought of losing her when I fuck up is too much to run me insane. I'm overreacting perhaps. But being with her, means walking in a narrow-road of heaven. There's no security, no assurance. One wrong move, and I'll be slipping away. Just in the never ending pain of darkness, of solitude, of self-struggle. Loving her has become my addiction. I couldn't get enough of it. But so they say, what's too much can cause harm. Maybe I'm loving her too much that she finds it hard to breathe when i'm around. But yes, it is just a wishful thinking; things that I'll surely not going to say to her because i will never ever earn the courage to say so. We are just nothing but a 'fateful coincidence.'![[THEN] Malay Natin: Siguro Ngayon](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/326804090-256-k415358.jpg)
[THEN] Malay Natin: Siguro Ngayon
There are some things that aren't worth keeping. Nastia Kahlila Quijano has been convincing herself that walking away was the right thing she did. Even if it's already been three long years ever since she left. But with every passing second and every in-between of those years, she couldn't seem to getaway with the feelings still lingering in her system. She was haunted by the ideas of him, what might have been, and their memories together. Each day, each night; it was a choice she didn't want to regret. She was determined to move forward. But the biggest relapse struck her unexpectedly. All of her effort and hard work went down the drain. She couldn't seem to pull herself back from the memories reeling her in. From the phantom lurking in the form of her next door neighbor seemingly pulling her back to his arms. Maybe she should run away. Far enough where they wouldn't meet ever again. Far from his reach. Maybe she should treat him indifferently until he finally gives up. But Nika couldn't seem to handle the thought of him walking away and ending up with someone else. She couldn't have that either. Maybe, it was time for her to let things happen like clockwork. Maybe fighting it was futile. Maybe the right thing to do was run back to him. In his arms wide open. A place in the world that's only meant for her. Maybe, this time, they were meant to be. Book cover by: goldenaraw (on twitter)Complete
Cecindei: Zeita Frumusetii
[ MPREG ] [ Trans X Straight ] They say the world has always belonged to the dominant. The powerful devours powerless. Because only dominance conquers dominance. That is the truth everyone believes...Until beauty enters the room. Vanna was born carrying a face that legends would mistake for divinity, a beauty so breathtaking it blurred the line between blessing and catastrophe. Men desired her. Women admired her. But beauty did not save her father from his death, nor did it spare her from leaving to begin a new life with her mother. Fate led them into the home of Mr. Lardizabal, where Vanna met his only son, Keann. He was a gentle-hearted boy whose smile could soften the harshest mornings. Yet beneath that, lurked the most lethal addiction. A devotion so absolute it hollowed him from within until the sweet little boy Vanna first met became a pathetic little bitch. Vanna refused to witness more suffering. With unwavering conviction, she decided to walk into the den not as the lamb, but as the famine. A den that was ruled by an elite brotherhood of untouchable men whose influence reached beyond wealth, fear, and law. Valos. To survive among them was to speak their language. Favors instead of kindness. Obsession instead of love. Silence instead of mercy. And one by one, the men who had bent lives to their will found themselves bending toward her. As dangerous bargains blur into intoxicating obsessions, Vanna must decide whether she can remain untouched, or whether even a goddess can be corrupted by the monsters she sought to tame. Because in the end, the greatest contradiction was never that dominance defeated dominance. It was that dominance had always believed itself invincible...Until beauty looked it in the eye. And for the first time...Dominance lowered its head. Because only beauty can bring dominance to its knees. Only beauty can tame the beast. Only beauty conquers dominance. And Vanna...well...she was the woman destined to prove it.
