Historias de Self-love

"She mistook attention for affection, and paid for it with her heart." Three years away from Calicut taught Aishwarya Vishwanath how to breathe without asking for permission. Now, she returns-not as the girl who left, but as a woman who has mastered the art of solitary, financially independent living. She arrives with a mission: to lead dance and music workshops for the Keralite Association. She expects the rhythm of art and the warmth of nostalgia. Instead, she is met with the suffocating weight of traditions she no longer recognizes. Her brothers, once her protectors, have become silent enforcers of the patriarchy that carves deep, unnoticeable scars into her childhood home. Aishwarya tells herself she is detached. Unbothered. A stranger to her own past. But Calicut does what it does best. Through the laughter of her students, fate forces a confrontation with Amal Shekhar Varma. He was once her safest place, the boy who texted first and became her world. To Aishwarya, it was a first love, but to Amal, she was merely the bridge to reach her female best friend, Siya, a rising Instagram influencer he secretly admired. Now, as the music plays and the old streets of Calicut close in, Aishwarya must navigate the wreckage of a heartbreak she thought she'd outrun. It is a story of return and restraint-and a love that waits in the shadows until it finally demands to be felt.

For a long time, I thought love meant staying. I searched for houses to build a life in - even when they were already full, even when the walls cracked, even when the warmth came and went without warning. I didn't realise I wasn't looking for love at all. I was looking for safety.

She thought she had her future planned - Columbia, a degree, and escaping her overbearing mother. But one drunken mistake at a party leaves Calliope Johnson pregnant, heartbroken, and alone. Asher Danster, the father of her baby, has his own dreams of going pro in football - and a girlfriend who isn't ready to let go. Together, they must navigate the fallout: an angry mother, shattered trust, and a fragile life growing too soon. As Calliope fights for her baby girl in the NICU and awakens from a coma, she discovers that love, guilt, and family are never simple - but sometimes, they're worth everything. Expecting the Unexpected is a deeply emotional coming-of-age story about mistakes, forgiveness, and the strength it takes to build a new life from the pieces of the old one.

Poems and few paragraphs I wrote. You are always going be there for yourself even though no one else is.

Hey there! I am an aspiring young writer with some time in her hands. I want to write. And that's what I'm going to do. I have no plan, no structure, no ideas, no plot, no characters... It's just me, my highly active imagination and my keyboard, typing the night away... WARNING: I have no idea how this book will turn out but I'm willing to try and find out.... Typical cheesy quote with lots of meaning: "The best things in life are unexpected." smolpinkflower out!( ^_^)/

These pages weren't meant to be read. They were meant to survive me. A collection of midnight poems, and word-spills from someone who loves deeply, overthinks daily, and still hasn't learned how to stop feeling everything all at once. Read if you've ever wanted to scream but only had ink. At the end of every chapter a question is present for all those who reads my chapters and I hope you would answer them but even if you don't, it is fine but make sure you would answer yourself all the questions I asked..

a short poem about how past mistakes don't only hurt or define you. About how they make you stronger than you were. About how they help you become who you are and how instead of letting guilt eat you up you should learn to place your past in your heart.

𝗢𝗩𝗘𝗥 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗨𝗡𝗧𝗘𝗥 Poetry. In here, lies pieces of me. In over-the-counter poetry.

I left writing here fore a while I left writing as a whole for a while too. I had glimpses of inspiration here and there though. So I wrote on my Facebook and then started a blog recently. However, I wanted to collect them. In here lies all that was written while I was away, during the heartbreak of the last two years, however, I'm finally getting a grip of myself. I started writing more regularly. I thought that here is where I grew while writing. I would like to grow more and write better. So thank you in advance for willing to read through this.
