Struggles Stories

He learned early that hunger doesn't always mean food. Sometimes, it's the silence of an empty room... the absence of a voice calling your name... the feeling of standing in a crowd and still having no one. By day, he is just another student-quiet, unnoticed, chasing marks and a dream he isn't sure he can afford. By night, he carries a delivery bag heavier than it looks, walking past bright homes that were never meant for him. He doesn't complain. He doesn't expect. Because life has already taught him-nothing stays. Until one door opens... and someone looks at him not with pity, but with warmth. For the first time, he is asked to stay. For the first time, someone waits for him. For the first time, "home" doesn't feel like a distant word. But when you've lived your whole life believing you don't belong anywhere... accepting love can be the hardest thing of all. Maybe some people aren't born into families. Maybe... they find them.

New cover is in the works! ------ It has been three months since the dragonets "prophecy" came to fruition. Every Tribe was trying to adapt to the new peace. For one particularly stubborn tribe (cough cough, Nightwings, cough cough), they were having a rather rough time. Though one rude little bastard adapted slightly faster (mostly due to not wanting to starve again). But one BRIGHT night.. something fell from the sky with burning light. What would the light bring.. a hero?.. or a villain.. - Example dialogue: (this is used in the story, Violence Warning) There were only ten Dragons standing in front of Stargazer. They were all wielding spears and unfortunately they were not Nightwings. They could only watch as the flames from the torches gradually went out on the floor. Fateseakers silhouette could vaguely be seen plucking the heads off of the fallen Dragons like flowers in a field. A ripping sound could be vividly heard as Fateseaker grabbed each Dragon by the throat. Followed by a thunk and crunch as Fateseaker slammed the decapitated heads into ground below, turning them into mush. Stargazer finally managed to pull two of the Guards far enough apart to see what was happening. She saw flames filling the area as the Dragons were torn apart. Without any care for any of their comrades. The Dragons on the ground began to spew flames in any direction they could, unsure of exactly where Fateseaker was due to a mixture of pure panic and darkness. --- (A story about Breaking "Fate") WIP chapters are technically "finished", but I'll add more details, better grammar, etc. The edited chapters will have a (rewritten # times) at the beginning.

An emotional tale of self-destruction, survival and healing woven through a society where tradition and expectations often speak louder than truth. To the world, Farida Bintu Ardo is a bitter, emotionless disruptor who finds peace in chaos. But beneath her sharp tongue is a woman who has spent years mastering a dark art of survival-shielding herself with choices she knows are sinful, and burying truths that were never meant to stay hidden. She believes she is finally in control. Until her world crosses paths with Saleem Kabir Jega. Haunted by his own past regrets, Saleem carries deep scars beneath a mask of restraint. He is everything she didn't see coming. When their forced union becomes the very reason the fragile life Farida fought so hard to protect begins to unravel, her desperate defenses turn against her. Will she finally face the truths she has hidden from the world, or will her dangerous need for control destroy her completely?

Stella Kiefling thought her life was ordinary enough to survive quietly. A wife trying to hold together a marriage already cracking at the edges, a mother carrying exhaustion behind polite smiles, a woman swallowing disappointment until it settled too deep inside her chest. The days blurred between unpaid emotions, responsibilities, and the kind of loneliness that could still exist beside another person in the same bed. Then everything began shifting all at once. The betrayal she tried not to see. The humiliation that kept returning in different forms. The fragile independence she slowly reached for with trembling hands. One step outside the ruins of her marriage led her into a world far louder than her own, filled with wealth, attention, and people carrying influence powerful enough to overturn her quiet life completely. And somehow, Stella became trapped between three men. One was the husband she thought she knew, yet still lingered inside her heart like an unfinished wound refusing to close. The second came with quiet restraint, offering concern that slowly blurred into something more dangerous. The last entered her life like a storm, overwhelming, intrusive, impossible to ignore no matter how hard she tried to push him away. Each of them carried their own way of reaching for her. Attention. Protection. Possession. Regret. And Stella, already exhausted from surviving her collapsing marriage, found herself dragged deeper into emotions she no longer trusted. Because the more she tried to steady her life, the more everything around her tightened, jealousy, desire, public scrutiny, buried secrets, and the painful question of whether love had ever truly existed in the first place. In the middle of it all, Stella could only keep moving forward, even when every choice seemed capable of ruining her all over again.

One chapter. One life. One complete story. Every chapter follows a different person, in a different place, facing a different life. Some stories are about poverty. Others are about work, rejection, discrimination, bureaucracy, family, faith, survival, opportunity, or simply trying to find somewhere to belong. There is no single protagonist and no single timeline. One chapter may follow a student struggling to reach an education. Another may follow a worker trying to rebuild his life, a family divided by circumstances, or an ordinary person caught between what society expects and the future they want for themselves. The next story can begin somewhere entirely different. The characters and events are fictional, but the ideas behind many of them are personal. They are shaped by experiences from my own life, people and situations I have encountered, and observations I have made over the past three years while working, studying, and trying to understand the world around me. During those years, I also spent much of my own time reading and studying American constitutional ideas, history, and literature. Those subjects changed the questions I found myself asking about opportunity, institutions, individual choice, responsibility, fairness, and what happens when the life a person wants collides with the circumstances they were given. These stories are not meant to say that the world is hopeless, nor that every person is simply a victim of circumstance. People make choices, make mistakes, adapt, fail, try again, and sometimes find possibilities where they did not expect them. What connects these stories is something much simpler. People trying to live. People trying to choose their own path when money, institutions, family, society, or circumstance have already narrowed their choices. And people continuing to look for something better, even when there is no guarantee they will find it. Different people. Different places. Different struggles. The same human story.

In a kingdom where loyalty means everything, two girls grow up together, sharing laughter, secrets, and a promise they make as children- "We'll always be together." But when danger reaches the kingdom, their friendship is tested in ways neither of them could have imagined. Years later, a strange dream brings back a story that should have been forgotten. A story about friendship, sacrifice, and a promise that refused to end. Some promises are forgotten. Some are remembered. And some... find their way back to you.

This is the story of love, life, pain, superstition, sufferings, death and much more.

"What happens when your favorite idols most precious moments come to life." A small basement, one meal a day, and big dreams in their eyes - was this enough to conquer the world? This isn't the story of the seven boys who pack stadiums today; it's the story of seven strangers whom the world had one rejected as "Failures." When a tiny company had no money to give, they invested their own and sweet instead. People mocked them, the industry closed its doors, and there were many moments when they thought of giving up. But each time, they held each other's hands and stood back up. Was their music greater than their hunger? Was their friendship stronger than the hatred they faced? Through a journey of pain where every tear was a hope and every wound became a new song - this isn't just the story of a band...it is the sage of the birth of an "Army" that changed the direction of the entire world.

A series of poems. That's what you left me with. Not memories or distrust, You left me with notes, With ignorance- not lust. You left me with scars, Freed me from cuts, But tore my heart out Before I had guts. You broke my kindness, Made torture feel like delicacy. I am uncertain as to why; But that.. That is when you broke me.
