This isn't a story about someone who has it all together.
This is a collection of late-night thoughts, quiet breakdowns, and small wins that nobody clapped for. It's for anyone who's ever felt like they're falling behind, or like they're living life on shuffle while everyone else seems to be on a perfect playlist.
Through short stories, reflections, and heart-to-heart moments, this book explores the messy, beautiful process of becoming. Of dreaming, doubting, restarting, and still not knowing exactly where you're headed - but showing up anyway.
If you're in your "bahala na" era, if you're tired but still hopeful, if you're learning to choose yourself...
This book is for you.
Because figuring it out isn't a deadline - it's a journey.
And you're not alone.

Unexpectedly Falling
Sabi nila lahat may karapatang maging masaya. We all deserve to be happy. Pero bakit ako parang hindi? Hindi ba ako kasama sa mga taong deserving? Masama ba ako sa past life ko? Kada araw dala-dala ko ang sakit ng nakaraan. Nakaraang wala pa lang katotohanan, siguro meron naman, pero 'yong pinaniniwalaan ko ay malayo sa totoong nangyari. Pero araw-araw akong umaasa. Umaasa ako.. Umasa ako.. Tapos dumating siya. Unexpected lahat sa totoo lang pero sa dulo? Hindi ko rin inaasahan ang sakit. Marami akong natutunan sa kanya.. Natutunan na dapat kong alalahanin kasi kung hindi, baka mauwi na naman sa sakit. Baka umasa na naman ako. At 'yon ang pinakamasakit. I've learned a lot from him to the point that he became a lesson. Dumating lang siya para matuto ako. Umalis siya kasi hindi ako 'yong babaeng gusto n'yang ilaban, hindi ako 'yon. Kasi ako 'yong babae na gusto na n'yang isuko. Ang unfair ng mundo, 'no? Kung kailan gusto na kita saka naman bubuhos ang maraming dahilan upang ilayo kayo sa isa't isa. Upang hindi niyo tuluyang sirain ang bawat isa. Pero sirang-sira ako nang umalis siya.. But who would have thought that someone out there will choose to build me again? To catch me. To catch me in my unexpectedly falling. Unexpectedly Falling, a story of falling for someone in a complicated way. Having a feelings for someone that is uncertain. Would you be selfish for love?Completa
No One Raised Me, But You (Completed)
Started:6/24/25 Ended: 7/1/25 > Wala akong gabay. Wala akong tinig na nagsabi kung tama ba 'yung ginagawa ko. Wala akong kamay na humila sa'kin palayo sa gulo. Iniwan ako ng nanay ko para sa ibang lalaki. At ang tatay ko? Lagi siyang wala. Abala sa trabaho, sa kumpanya, sa kung saan. Hindi niya alam na unti-unti na akong nawawala. Akala ko okay lang maging bastos, sumagot, maglayas, manakit. Akala ko normal lang maging ako-yung walang pakialam. Pero dumating siya. Tahimik. Palaging seryoso. Ayoko sa kanya nung una-masungit, preskong presidente ng school. Pero habang tumatagal, siya 'yung tanging tao na... pinagsabihan ako. Hinintay akong magbago. Tinuruan akong rumespeto. Hindi dahil kailangan-kundi dahil gusto niya akong matutong mahalin ang sarili ko. No one raised me... but you did. And now, I don't know how to live without you.Completa

A Garden of Dead Things
This book is my life laid bare - a story of pain, loneliness, and mental chaos that most people don't see. It's about the slow, unbearable unravelling of a mind caught in the grips of depression, anxiety, trauma, and heartbreak. There's no sugarcoating here. No fairy tales or hopeful endings. This is a glimpse into what it feels like to be completely lost inside yourself, where every day is a battle to hold on, even when you don't know what you're holding onto anymore. I write about the nights filled with overwhelming silence that screams louder than any words. About the weight of memories and pain so heavy it crushes the light out of your life. This story doesn't shy away from the darkest parts: the thoughts that haunt you, the self-hate that grows quietly, the invisible scars left by emotional abuse and trauma. It's about fighting to survive when it feels like there's nothing left inside you but broken pieces. But more than that, it's about the truth of living with a mind that doesn't always want to be healed, a heart that keeps breaking even when you try to protect it, and a soul that longs for peace but only finds pain. I'm not telling this story for sympathy or comfort. I'm telling it because this is real. Because sometimes, the only way to breathe is to say out loud what hurts the most. If you're tired of pretending everything's okay, if you've ever felt like no one truly understands the storm inside your head, then this book is for you. It's not easy to read - but it's real, and it's mine. Welcome to my garden of dead things.
But I'm not a VAMPIRE (GxG) °Published under PopFiction°
"Seriously? You really thought I would accept you? I'm way too out of your league, retreat from talking to me and don't come near me, you're a vampire" She returned to being the killer eyed girl that I first met in an instant. Said by the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my entire life, a goddess that I don't know why chose to stay in this messy earth. And she rejected me, well why would a perfect girl like her accept me right? but at least I tried than do nothing at all and regret it forever. "Bu...but I'm not a vampire!" I exclaimed in frustration. Seriously? That's the reason why she rejected me? I asked myself. That's the most ridiculous thing that I ever heard as an excuse for rejecting someone. "Well, you do look like one and I hate vamps" she argued before rolling her beautiful eyes at me. I want to argue but she didn't give me the chance by walking away, leaving me astounded.

My Eating Disorder (COMPLETE)
Restrict. Binge. Repeat. That was all she knew. That was all she did. And she wasn't planning on stopping anytime soon. --- Sunny, a seventeen-year-old girl, hummed to herself quietly as she took out a stick of gum. Her black earbuds emitted music as she searched up the calories to the candy her mom gave her earlier. She tilted her head as she saw the number. It was workable. She wouldn't go over her calorie limit. She put her phone away, and for a moment, for a stilling moment... she wondered if this was the pain she'll have to deal with forever just to be skinny. . . . Story includes: anorexia and binge eating. Credits to @LunarWrites__ for the cover!Completa

For the booksmart yet naïve 16-year-old Nicky, high school in her quaint little hometown island in the Philippines had always been predictable. Until that senior year. Nicky thought she got things all figured out. She'd be very good at school and be the valedictorian of the single-section class of 2010 of the highly looked-up science high school in their island. And then, she'd get a full scholarship to her dream university. All was fairly well except for a few things like grappling her feelings towards a long-time crush. Just when Nicky thought she could get through high school without too much boy-drama, a somewhat seemingly love life with a boy or two and suddenly, maybe even three was finally catching up with her during the last few months before high school graduation. She had never thought she could be wrong about a person. And that she could always be wrong about boys... ✨✨✨ Sidenote: I wrote this from November 2010 to April 2011, only a year ahead from the time set in the novel. This was fully uploaded on Wattpad in September 2013 for safekeeping. I hadn't gotten back to it in so many years nor find any means and time to promote it. This had long been completed but still needs edit. Enjoy reading! Cheers! P.S. This is not exactly a love story. And yet, it may read a lot like it.Completa

Film copyright is available with $0.5M + wattpad publishers right cost. Please contact. Visual support provided for the story please read again Dedication of my Story is to my Grand parents revolutionary Ramesh Chowdhury and Revolutionary Basana Chowdhury against colonialism. As Author my request is "don't treat the book as a #textbook . It is purposefully a story book. " Though I shall be happy if people get interested about the adventurous science or thrilling history. The story is a science fiction and predictive modelling of future of the earth , drafted with a link to the history. Basic idea of the story is to feel that hope always will be there for rising from the ashes whether from natural disaster as the strong positive vibes and war from the peace process. Though to achieve that needs the freedom. #linkintoepi #book #bookstagram #books #booklover #reading #read #bookaddict #bookworm #instabook #bookstagrammer #booknerd #bookish #bookshelf #bookphotography #reader #booklove #bookaholic #livre #libro #booksofinstagram #bibliophile #author #bookblogger #livrestagram #bookreview #booksbooksbooks #readersofinstagram #bookcommunity #bookrecommendations #bookloversCompleta
