Maia had always been different. As a child, she didn't like what usual young girls liked. As a teen, she never fit in. She was quiet and shy, always dressed in dark blues, greens, and browns. And she seemed to have no temper at all...
Or so that's what everyone thought. They weren't there when she was home alone, fighting against herself, her instinct, her dark side. One night, everything changed. Her world flipped inside out.
Her mother
Dead
Her father
Gone
Never again to see her home
Her school
The community she'd grown up in
The one that seemed to suck up her very existence, outcasting her, just as she wanted it to do. Just the reason her mother had chosen to live there.
But all of it was gone, just because one mistake on her part. A small mistake that snowballed into something way bigger then anything that could be fixed with a "sorry". Much bigger then that...
Maia kept her monster deep inside after that. She slowly pushed it further and further down, until it seemed like it never surfaced anymore. But when her temper flared, she could feel it churning from deep within, waiting. She promised herself she would never let it out and that she would never get close to anyone ever again.

It was a Sunday night, family night for the Greens. They were playing a board game when it happened. At exactly 11:11 pm; a time for wishes, a sixteen year old girl wished for true love one day. At that exact moment her window smashed and something flew into her room. It was a flock of them; they attracted the house and only took one thing: the girl. She remembers it clearly, the way she screamed scared out of her mind. The way it grabbed her waist and took off. She remembers screaming for help but no one came to her rescue. Oh how she wishes that she left her safety knife in her room. Then they would be safe. Her family! She just hopes they were fine, but the conclusion that she was taken says that her family would be back to normal soon. She sighs and thinks over her life. From a little kid she was always the loner.

Inside Our Head | NEW STORY
This is not just a story. It is a collection of silent battles. Inside these chapters are different minds, different struggles, and different experiences that people often fail to see or understand. Each story opens a small window into lives affected by mental health conditions, emotional pain, and the weight of being misunderstood by society. From obsessive thoughts that refuse to stop, to overwhelming anxiety, to emotions that feel too heavy to carry alone, each chapter shows how different people fight battles that are invisible to others. Some are aware of what they are going through but cannot simply "stop." Some try to function normally while their minds are in constant conflict. Some are judged, ignored, or misunderstood by the world around them. This book does not exist to label people. It exists to humanize them. Because behind every behavior that others may not understand, there is a person trying their best to survive their own mind. And maybe, in reading these stories, we learn to see them a little more clearly. Not as broken. Not as different. But as human.Complete
