Gaslight is my story, told as honestly as I know how. It is not perfect, linear, or comfortable, because healing rarely is. What you are about to read is a journey through emotional abuse, loss of self, motherhood, mental health crisis, survival, and the slow, painful return to clarity. This book is for anyone who has ever doubted their reality because someone else told them they should. For anyone who has been labeled, minimized, corrected, or erased under the guise of "help." For mothers who were made to feel unsafe in their own love. For partners who stayed because hope felt safer than truth. For those who survived, and for those still trying to.

Aubrey thought loving Chase was easy. In a town like Ashton, where everyone knows everyone, their story was the kind people envied-childhood sweethearts, perfect on paper, meant to last forever. But perfect isn't always real. Behind closed doors, Aubrey starts to see the cracks no one else can. The way he speaks. The way he looks at her. The way everything feels... wrong. And the worst part? No one believes her. In a place where everyone loves Chase, Aubrey is left questioning everything-him, herself, and what love is supposed to feel like. Because sometimes, the person everyone else trusts is the one breaking you the most.

There are so many warm and fuzzy moments associated with love but the moments that aren't so picture perfect are the ones that stick with you forever. Here's me journaling through some of my wildest romances and greatest heartbreaks. So far, there aren't any happy endings but that doesn't mean they aren't worth the read✨️ (I write about more than one person and I write as if I am talking directly to them instead of writing about them, sorry if it's confusing)

[2018 Wattys Awards. Best rankings: #1 in gaslamp, #2 in gaslight] Cornwall, 1895. Tragedy sends 14-year-old Benjamin to boarding school at Kerkammel College. Isolated and alone, at first the medieval castle situated on the edge of a moor and unlike any other fills him with wonder, but then he learns about life at Kerkammel. When an early encounter with bullies forces Benjamin to enter the dreaded labyrinth, he becomes lost for hours inside its myriad passages, until at last the inscrutable Arithmetic Master rescues him. But the punishment meted out isn't what Benjamin expected. Instead of lines or detention, he is to search the library for the truth about Malcontentus the Evil. The hunt launches Benjamin into the lost history of the castle, of ghosts, kings and the discovery that the labyrinth is actually a prison, where prisoners are held captive within their own portrait. Then Malcom, an illiterate 16th century magician, falls from a painting at his feet and it falls to Benjamin to return him to imprisonment, before the curse of the portrait kills Malcom. In a race against time, Benjamin must learn magic and solve the mystery of Malcom's release, pitting them against an ancient evil which threatens to destroy the world. Malcontentus the Evil has returned!

Uncontrollably, they fall. I keep wiping them away, and as i do so, the feeling Intensifies.. It's like I'm trying to convince myself that this isn't real, a figment of my imagination, perhaps one of my made-up scenarios that live rent-free in my head... Instead of asking "why" like I'd usually do, I could mess up my routine and just accept the fact that it might not get better .. Some may call it pessimistic, but I like to say that's just me being realistic and practical Famished and confused on what to do, I just stare at the sky, no stars in sight, just darkness... A black empty void of Nothingness. Half empty or half full...pick a struggle! Empty.... That's how I'm starting to feel... Maybe I've been that way for quite some time, and I'm just realising it now? Maybe it's too much space in my head that I can actually think and come to the conclusion that emptiness is kinda...Nice? Being responsible for just yourself... wouldn't that be easier to manage? I'm spewing nonsense, but I'm sure someone can relate to being snatched up from your regular "normal" and placed in the universe of utter "abnormality " and waves of nothings? The emptiness echos really loud, my love... she is stillness, in a world full of chaos.
