'This is what comes after coming of age', it says on the cover of "Speeding Through a Blind Curve".
"CRASHING" is, well, it's all the mess that happens before that.

[This story serves as the PRELUDE to a SERIES]
Early 2015, I took on the #SparkNA challenge of finishing a New Adult novella, minimum 20,000 words, within 2 months. I did it! I survived and finished "Speeding Through a Blind Curve". Then while the manuscript was undergoing a few changes, and I was waiting for signs from the universe about bringing it out into the world, Ms. Mina Esguerra issued another challenge to us in the form of #WriteBreakUpSongsAbout. This is what I have for it so far. <3

Destiny's Second Chance
Ritika Das, a vibrant and artistic young girl, navigates her teenage years filled with friendships, insecurities, and a silent, unspoken crush on Himanshu Datta, a calm and intelligent boy from her school bus. Their bond grows through fleeting interactions, shared glances, and unspoken words, but insecurities and life's circumstances pull them apart. On their farewell day, an intense moment of mutual longing is left unresolved as they part ways without a goodbye, never expecting to cross paths again. Years later, destiny intervenes-Himanshu has become an influential doctor, treating his patients with kindness and compassion, while Ritika flourishes as a multi-talented entrepreneur and artist. As their paths reconnect, will they finally confess their feelings, or have they moved on to a life without each other? Watch as their story unfolds and fate writes the next chapter of their lives. Writer's Note - This story is a deeply personal journey, dedicated to myself. Many of the sad parts reflect real-life experiences, while the happy moments, feelings, and endings are surreal-woven from the threads of dreams I couldn't realize. In real life, I couldn't find a happy ending with someone I cared for so deeply. Perhaps we'll never cross paths again. But through this story, I wanted to give myself the happy ending that life didn't grant me.To anyone reading, I hope you find joy, reflection, and perhaps a touch of healing within these pages. Thank you for sharing in this part of me.
Into the Velvet
*EDITORS' CHOICE 2021*After falling for her senior year teacher, Louise learns a harsh lesson on what adulthood isn't. Louise has some trauma to unpack. Heartbreak's a bitch, and her first relationship had been anything but normal. Thinking herself mature for her age, her affair with Mr. Cain started swooningly well. Except things ended quite abruptly. It's a lot for a seventeen year old to handle. But who's really at fault for what happened? Who even is Mr. Cain, and what is he hiding? From the wreckage of her naivety and self-esteem, can Louise save her friendships and rebuild herself? Our love songs aren't telling the whole truth. How can this be? In this tale of vulnerability, adolescence and painful reckoning, the arrogance of youth demands a price. * "'You're what, Louise?' he asked. 'You're sorry? What am I supposed to do here? How can I turn this around? How can I tell you that everything you want and feel is reciprocated, when I have to go back to work and pretend none of it happened?' 'I don't know the answer!' I cried. 'Neither of us do.' I threw my hands up in defeat. He caught them before they could fall. 'But how do I go back to living without your words?' His voice became a whisper. He squeezed my fingers tightly, closing his eyes and bringing them to his chest. 'I need how you make me feel, Luiza. I need it to feel alive. I won't stay away. No one's made me feel this good before. And I can't stand myself for wanting what I want. What do I do?' I was a violin bow on the verge of splintering. Every inch of me pulsed with an ache that began from the marrow of my bones. Fate had brought us here. At this crossroads of ours, there were a hundred different choices to make. A thousand different lifetimes to choose from, stemming from and decided entirely by my next choice. And in the end, I chose incorrectly. I held his face between my hands, feeling the echoing pulse of his skin. I brought his face to mine. I kissed him."Complete
