"Kunin Niyo na'ko, Lord."
That was my first prayer na buong puso kong pinagdasal, at iniyakan. Pero ang sagot Niya ay hindi date kung kailan ako mamamatay kung hindi ay mga rason para mabuhay. He gave me a reason to move after I had spent so long just going through the motions. For years, I searched for the concept of Ikigai. To me, living felt like an obligation I never signed up for.
Kasabay ng paghahanap ko sa salitang Ikigai, ay natagpuan ko rin ang depinisyon ng salitang Inay. She was a religious Sister who didn't just teach me about religious formation, but she saved me. I remember the way where she stop mid-step just to share a piece of wisdom, and the late-night talks that only ended when the lights went out. I leaned on her until I realized something life-altering: the peace I was feeling and the strength stitching me back together weren't actually hers. She was just the messenger.
Every word that truly reached into my soul was not hers, but His. As I look forward to the years ahead, I wonder if the spark I feel today will keep burning.
This is my journey-a reflection of encountering God in every word and every letter.

Five Hearts, One Forbidden Love (Poly | Intersex)
Alazne Raven Kailani Astor Walton - born into the powerful union of the Astor and Walton families - was destined for a life shaped by privilege, control, and expectation. But burdened by secrets and suffocating traditions, she fled from the identity imposed upon her, reinventing herself in the Philippines as Arkie Hernandez. Now twenty-two, she lives as an Architectural Engineering student: quiet, sharp, and seemingly unbothered - hiding behind the persona of a cold, mysterious nerd. What no one knows is that she is intersex, a truth she guards as fiercely as her royal lineage and immense wealth. But fate has other plans. Drawn into the orbit of five extraordinary women - Professors Alexandria, Kaisha, Jamie, Lara, and Sophia - Arkie finds herself entangled in emotions she was never meant to feel. Each woman is brilliant, beautiful, and commanding in her own right, yet each sees something in Arkie that others overlook. As boundaries blur and hearts begin to collide, what starts as quiet attraction slowly blossoms into something deeper - something forbidden by society, by tradition, and by the lives they already lead. She wasn't supposed to love them. She certainly wasn't supposed to be loved by all five. But some desires are too powerful to ignore, and some connections feel written in the stars. In a world that demands she choose, Arkie must navigate the complexities of identity, love, and freedom - daring to claim a happiness that defies every rule. Five Hearts, One Forbidden Love is a story of passion, courage, and the freedom to love without limits.

TUKSO
Sa loob ng labinsiyam na taon, namuhay nang tahimik at marangal ang biyudang si Emilda kasama ang kanyang labing-siyam na taong gulang na anak na si JC sa loob ng isang siksikang compound. Ngunit ang bawat sulok ng kanilang tahanan ay unt-unting niyanig nang dumating ang kanilang bagong boarder-si Dante, isang matikas, maskulado, at seryosong hepe ng imbestigasyon sa lokal na presinto.
