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.

THE EDGE OF NINETEEN(19)(EDITING)
"Some stories aren't just written-they're survived." Heaven never planned to fall apart quietly. Nineteen was supposed to be her year of survival. Instead, it became the year everything unraveled-family, friendships, and the walls she built around her pain. Diagnosed with BPD, trapped between silence and screams, and carrying scars she thought no one could love, she was certain the world had forgotten her. Then came Chase-gentle, persistent, and painfully human. What began as an accidental connection in a library became the lifeline she never knew she needed. This is not a love story in the way you expect. It's about healing in slow, aching pieces. It's about therapy sessions, midnight breakdowns, found family, and daring to believe in something softer. It's about what happens when you stop surviving and start living. And maybe, just maybe-find someone worth fighting your way back for. Raw. Real. Relatable. If you've ever been on the edge of something-grief, love, adulthood, or your own mind-this book is for you. ---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

Message Not delivered...
CAUTION: I DID NOT PUT MATURE ON BUT CONTAINS SENSITIVE TOPICS OF ABUSE INCLUDING S/A... & probaly some swearing. There will be disturbing sh*t in here. This book is a poem book of my life pretty much. Its my thoughts and emotions spoken in a different suppossed to be more emotional and deeper way then just looking at what happened and crying about it. What happened can never be fixed but I won't let those people go by un-noticed and I hope karma sincerely kicks them in more then the ass someday. I don't wish pain upon no one but I do crave for them to just UNDERSTAND what they made me feel since they all walked away without a scrape, just a smirk on all their faces in the end. Or they're narcassistic. Theres also letters to people who I still think of to this day that will probably never read them but you guys still hold a special place in my heart. This book is letters and poetry to all; people of my past, present, future, and not only just SURVIVORS but WARRIORS too. You're never alone my loves... Welcome to : "Message Not Delivered"Complete

Strawberry and Silence
Some loves don't end with goodbye. Some just... vanish-without a sound. It began with a coffee spill. An accidental touch. A stolen glance. The kind of beginning you forget until you can't.

It's about the moments that change everything- and the silence that comes after.Complete
