I've always created. Songs, stories, dances, worlds... most of the time, just inside my head.
I was a quiet, amusing child, talking to myself, singing when no one else did, dancing before I could even speak, writing without expecting anyone to read.
This is the story of what it means to live with that fire, to carry ideas and stories that won't be ignored, to create because you must, not because you choose.
Born to Create is a journey through childhood, imagination, and the quiet, endless urge to make.
It's for anyone who has ever felt the pull to bring their inner world into life, to build, to dream, to create without limits.
Step inside. Maybe you'll recognize yourself here.

When Haley discovers the truth behind Xavier, whose silence holds a deeper meaning, she sets her mind on making his life better one small step at a time.
*****
Haley Rosamond is happy with her simple life, content under the wing of her father. Well-protected, she has no idea of the darkness surrounding Xavier Hunt, with his all-black attire and infrequent presence in school-accompanied by his bruises and scars. That is, until Haley catches a glimpse of Xavier's reality and is made to question everything she knows about family and life in general. The truth, she realizes, couldn't be more different from everything she has heard. Supported by her father, Haley sets her mind on helping Xavier any way she can, and what begins with tutoring sessions, free food, and random acts of kindness blooms into friendship and something a little more. But when Haley's admission into her dream college and another tragedy in Xavier's life threaten to undo everything she has worked for, Haley needs to decide if she'll stick by Xavier or simply be another person in his life that disappears.
