Sometimes, saving the one you love means destroying reality itself. Saimon Reilly is no legendary hero. He's a broken teenager with a traumatic past, whose panic attacks in a world of magic can prove fatal. His only anchor in a slipping reality is Karsilina - the girl who visited him in dreams for years before stepping into his life. But Karsi is not just the orphan from his visions. She is the missing princess of the Kingdom of Liston, hunted by shadows from her past. Within the walls of the magical university CHALRUN, amid aristocratic intrigue and ancient curses, Saimon must choose: stay on the sidelines or awaken a power he is not yet ready to control. When a deadly threat looms over Karsilina - one with no cure - Saimon uncovers a forbidden secret: time can be turned back. But the price of a single chance may be impossibly high. How far will a man go when his dreams become reality... and reality turns into an endless nightmare? ✨ Psychological Fantasy / Magical Realism ✨ Themes: Soulbound connection, Mental Health, Time manipulation. ✨ First book of the SiR Saga.

Can you run away from Fate? Can you skive from the Destiny etched into your skin from your youngest age? Can you? Yoongi wanted to say he could. Run away, that is; push it further and further in time. But Destiny cannot be forgotten nor ignored, those numbers a constant reminder of such Fate. Etched in black. Alive. Like his soulmate. A person somewhere on Earth he wished to never meet, to run away from forever. - TW - mentions of panic attacks, panic and anxiety disorder, depression, self-harm, social anxiety, societal pressure (+more to be detailed) publishing in April 2026

Twenty-six-year-old Tori Williams catches her white fiancé in bed with her coworker three months before their wedding, discovering an eight-month affair that shatters everything she believed about love and her own worth. Devastated by betrayal and drowning in PTSD, she flees to Kyoto, Japan on a two-year MFA scholarship in design, desperate to escape the wreckage of her life in Atlanta. Arriving broken and barely functional, Tori navigates crushing loneliness, brutal culture shock, and hypervisibility as a Black woman in homogeneous Japan. She faces constant stares, microaggressions, and the exhausting work of existing in a country where she'll always be Other. Through traditional joinery workshops, she meets Ren Beaumont-a half-Japanese, half-French architecture student with devastating good looks and an emotionally unavailable playboy reputation, haunted by his own family wounds and running from intimacy through meaningless hookups. As they learn kintsugi-the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold, making it more beautiful for having been broken-two shattered people begin to recognize themselves in each other's cracks. Tori must decide if she can trust again after annihilating betrayal, while Ren confronts whether he's capable of the vulnerability real love requires. Through cherry blossom seasons and autumn leaves, temple gardens and late-night workshops, they discover that healing doesn't mean becoming who you were before breaking-it means honoring the cracks while building something entirely new. This is a story about surviving trauma, finding home in unexpected places, chosen family that saves lives, and learning that broken and whole aren't opposites-they're the same thing, gold-filled and beautiful. ©️ Relle H

"Sorry Not Sorry: This evocative poem delves into the intricacies of toxic guilt, painting a vivid portrait of its profound influence on individuals' lives. Through poignant verses, it navigates the roots of guilt from childhood, where parental burdens cast a heavy shadow on innocence, nurturing seeds of shame and undeserved blame. The poem intricately traces the lifelong journey of carrying this emotional burden, impacting relationships, personal growth, and the struggle to admit faults. With a keen eye on the cycle of remorse, the verses advocate for breaking free from this suffocating weight. It highlights the struggle of excessive apologies and fear of facing one's faults, offering a poignant narrative that champions the path toward self-acceptance and healing. 'Sorry Not Sorry' delicately emphasizes the transformative power of understanding and empathy, offering a hopeful message of liberation from the consuming grip of toxic guilt."

This poem dives deep into a life filled with grief, loss, and survival. It explores the struggle of living with essential tremors, the burden of past trauma, the challenges of maintaining sobriety, and the frustration of feeling misunderstood. It's about the tension between independence and connection, the anger and sadness that surface in everyday life, and the strength it takes to simply keep standing. It's raw, unapologetic, and vulnerable - a testament to human resilience and the quiet courage of surviving when the world feels heavy.

something i though of last night😜

When it comes to inspiration in our reality with our current generation, it can be hard with all society's expectations, standards and such that keep us away too easily from the person that we would be confident being. It's too too true to believe that we all have given into that power of society, which not far into that process where we begin to lose ourselves. When we lose our sight of our real self, our beliefs, values, personality, friends, family, passion, purpose, hobbies and so much more. It's sad or hard to imagine how powerful this kind of thing can impact our world for all of society. How come we let it get this far? How did we let our own society (include yourself, your part of society too, even if you didn't cause or take part in any of our issues, causes, epidemics in our world) become so bad leading to creating so many issues and shame in our world. But with all our individual knowledge, experience, education; we can without a doubt do all we can to figure out the main cause or trigger of each one and find all the possible solutions and choosing the right one for each cause to help break down barriers, stigmas, shame, chaos, hate and more. Imagine what our world would look like then? Let's use that as our motivation and why we choose to hold on regardless of what life throws at us making us feel hopeless or even helpless at times. Regardless of how hopeless and helpless we may feel from reality, we have to stay strong and stick to our reason for holding on, for working hard without giving up on something; everything that needs to be fixed. And that reason being how badly we want that end result of doing so, that feeling, the look, the outcomes overall of this kind of impact we can have on our world. Now, most times, it all starts with one person and then becomes a chain reaction. Other times, it begins by working/improving/recreating ourselves after self destruction from any illness (physical, emotional or mental illness).
