A Love That Waited Quietly
This isn't just a story - it's a piece of the author's own heart. A connection between two who never planned to find each other, yet somehow did - in a fleeting moment, in a word, in a silence. A forbidden love. A love filled with longing and sacrifice. It was a love that lived in du'as, in unread messages, in sleepless nights and unsaid words. A love full of submission - not just to the feeling, but to the One who created it. This is a story of quiet connection, unspoken feelings, and deep-rooted emotions that lived between silence and prayer. A love marked by hardship, longing, and submission - not just to the feeling, but to the will of the One who wrote it. Not every love is meant to last in this world. But some loves never truly leave.Complete
"Things I Never Said Out Loud"

Ink Me In Ghost Words
I never meant to keep the letters. I only wrote them to spill the words I couldn't say aloud to bleed the truth onto paper, seal it, and let time quietly carry it away. But time didn't take them. You stayed etched in every unsent line, every silence I tried to write through. This isn't a love story, It's the aftermath of love when it fades without noise, when hearts break quietly, and memories linger in ink that never dries. He was the goodbye I never spoke, and I was the story he never finished reading. So for every draft left unopened, for every feeling buried deep, and every love that never found its ending will you ever return to me, or will I keep writing letters while you continue to ink me in ghost words?Complete

A look into the mind of a BPD, Anxiety ridden woman. With no identity but her Panic. With my ways it's hard to keep down anything healthy, relationships that don't last but stay with me like my own personal demons. And evil around the corner you'd never see coming. The pain changes you. Trauma changes you. It strips you away from yourself.

This book will include poetry and scenes and think pieces. It will be vulnerable. It will be raw. It will remind you of your own loss. - "She." Xx🥀xXComplete
