What if I told you this book isn't meant to fix you-just to sit beside you, when no one else does?
And What If I Die? Or Leave Without a Trace is a bleeding collection of unsent letters, midnight thoughts, and survival confessions.
Written for those who are barely holding on.
For the ones who keep quiet while the world gets loud.
For those who were left, forgotten, or grieving something that no one else seems to notice.
It's about the pain you can't explain.
The kind that lives in your bones.
The grief that stays even after the funeral.
The questions you ask God when you're too angry to pray.
The friendships that faded.
The love you didn't get to say.
The you that disappeared when no one was looking.
This book won't hand you a happy ending.
But it will hold your hand through the mess.
And maybe, just maybe, remind you:
You're still here.
And that matters.
If you're looking for hope that doesn't sound fake-
For words that feel like they were written with your voice-
This book is yours now.

All That Was Left of Me
He was lost. Worn down by the past, unsure of the future. But even in the silence, something greater was calling. This is a story about grace, healing, and the love that never lets go. Content Note: This story includes themes of grief and healing following the death of a loved one by suicide (not depicted on the page), as well as scenes involving a serious car accident, medical trauma, and emotional distress in a hospital setting. Reader care is encouraged. Author's Note: This story is very personal to me. Growing up, I experienced deep struggles with depression. I'm grateful to say that I no longer carry those thoughts, but those moments shaped me-and they left behind a softness in my heart for anyone who is hurting in silence. I wrote this book to explore the grief that often goes unspoken, the quiet battles people face, and the power of showing up for someone-even when they seem like a stranger. Sometimes the people who seem "attention-seeking" are actually crying out for help the only way they know how. I've been there. And I know how much it matters when someone chooses to care anyway. At the heart of this story is my faith. I believe in God wholeheartedly, and it's His love that carried me through my darkest seasons. This book is a reflection of that-of how God gives us second chances, how He sits with us in the pain, and how He brings healing even when everything feels broken. If you're hurting, please know this: you are not alone. There is hope. There is help. And there is a God who sees you, loves you, and wants to carry you through. Please reach out: U.S. Suicide & Crisis Lifeline Available 24/7, completely free, and confidential. You can also talk to a trusted friend, family member, pastor, counselor, or anyone who can walk with you through the darkness. There's no shame in needing support. Asking for help is one of the bravest things you can do.Complete

WHAT IF
✦ 📘 Description "What if you got a second chance... but didn't ask for it?" They say survival is a miracle. But no one talks about what comes after. Y, a man who stood at the edge of the world-broken, betrayed, and buried in silence-throws himself into the darkness, hoping to escape the pain that hollowed him out. But instead of death, he wakes up to the haunting reality of a second chance. No applause. No redemption arc. Just the weight of a soul that didn't want saving. This is not a story of falling in love. It's a story of falling apart-and crawling your way back piece by jagged piece. Through quiet rage, shattered mirrors, cheap food, and brutal self-confrontation, Y begins the hardest journey of all: finding himself again. For the outcasts. For the broken. For the ones who didn't think they'd make it. This is your story too. "What If" is a raw, poetic, and unfiltered journey of trauma, healing, and the fight to live when living feels impossible.

The Girl He Left Behind
She had loved him since she was a child - quietly, faithfully, hopelessly. When their families arranged their marriage, it felt like fate had finally heard her secret prayers. He was everything she had dreamed of - gentle, grounded, and hers at last. Until the day a bank robbery tore their world apart. He was taken hostage. She walked into danger to save his life... and disappeared from his world. Months later, she returned - scarred, broken, but alive. Only to find the man she had risked everything for no longer remembered her. Worse, he was getting engaged... to someone else. In a world quick to judge and forget, she chose silence over shame. But love has a strange way of finding its way back - even through forgotten memories and broken hearts. "The Girl He Left Behind" is a story of love that endures beyond memory, of courage, forgiveness, and the quiet strength of a woman who loved too deeply to demand to be remembered.Complete
Life as it is
She doesn't talk about it not out loud. Not the childhood stolen behind closed doors. Not the nights that blurred into silence. Not the years of shame, of pain, of pretending to be okay. But on the page? She tells the truth. In this deeply personal and soul baring collection, a young woman traces her path through a lifetime of abuse, betrayal, and grief-and the quiet, aching journey of healing that follows. Through poetry, she unearths the stories she's never spoken aloud, giving voice to the trauma that shaped her, and the strength that's carried her through. Each poem is a heartbeat. A scar. A step forward. Sometimes backwards. But always hers. Living. Breaking. Surviving. Healing. This is not just her story. It's the story of anyone who's ever felt broken, unseen, or unheard and still chose to write themselves into the light.Complete
TWO LATE LOVERS
"Some people don't die when their heart stops - they die when they stop believing they can be forgiven." Abhinav never meant to lose Anjali. But guilt doesn't care for intentions - it just builds walls inside your chest and whispers names you can't forget. When Arundhati walks into his life - a girl carrying her own ghosts - the two begin to peel open each other's wounds in the hope of finding light. But what they find instead is something darker, rawer, and maybe... more honest. A story about grief, guilt, and the strange ways people keep living after they've already died inside.Complete
