    Sick of a life where everything seems to have gone wrong a boy promises himself that today will be his last unless the universe gives him a sign that things can change, he boards a train to nowhere and writes his deepest thought out onto a napkin along with his number as a final cry for help before he end his life. Two hours later a girl with no sense of direction and a dull outlook of her monotonous life picks up the napkin and feels the words written are directly aimed at her, against her better judgement she dials the number not knowing what to except. And two different destinies align and meet in the middle. Who knew letters written on a simple napkin could have such life-changing effects? Cover by @silently__

    Hey everyone, I've started publishing a book anonymously. It's about growing up in a violent home, surviving trauma, and trying to find peace. I'm not a professional writer. I'm just someone who decided to speak - after years of silence. The story is called: "Looking Where No One Dares to Look" I'm 23. My name isn't Ahmed. But yes - I am Ahmed. I want to share this story for those who feel alone. For those who grew up like I did. And for anyone who just needs to know: You're not crazy. You're not weak. You're not alone. ⚠ Trigger Warning: This story contains themes of domestic violence, emotional abuse, depression, suicidal thoughts, and childhood trauma. Please take care while reading - and don't read alone if this could trigger you. You matter. Always.

    Path of Thorns is a deeply introspective tale of a young girl navigating the tumultuous journey from innocence to self-awareness. As she grapples with betrayal, loss, and the struggle to trust, she learns that the greatest battle is within herself. In a world that demands perfection, she faces abandonment by those she once relied on, only to find solace and strength in the one thing that has never let her down-education. As she walks her thorny path, she discovers that the wounds of betrayal may leave scars, but they can also lead to growth. With raw emotion and a resilient spirit, she learns that self-worth is forged through pain, perseverance, and the courage to rise again, no matter the odds. This story is a testament to the power of embracing one's struggles and transforming them into a source of personal strength. This coming-of-age narrative explores themes of isolation, resilience, and the pursuit of inner peace in a world that often feels unforgiving. Through her journey, the protagonist realizes that the only path worth walking is the one she carves for herself, and that sometimes, it's the thorns that teach us how to bloom.

This is a true account of one of the most intense nightmares I've ever experienced, and a reminder that sometimes the deepest wounds aren't the ones you can see.

    "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."

    Sometimes I feel so alone. Sometimes you can feel more lonely inside of a relationship than out of one. It's just so difficult to know when it's best to let go. especially when there are times with them when you feel on top of the world. The toxicity of a unhealthy attachment can often do more damage than good. This may not be one of my best or most refined works but it conveys raw emotion. I wasn't trying to use fancy words or hidden meanings, often it's best to just let your emotions burst out over the page without thinking too deeply into the form or literacy techniques behind it. If you can relate and need a friend then don't hesitate to drop me a message. You are important.
