[A DEDICATION TO VERMIE] The flower that symbolizes That though the pain never ceases, Sunny days lie ahead of us; Nothing is impossible with God.

If you had shown me my future years ago, I would have called you a liar. How does someone lose themselves so completely? ​I didn't become someone else overnight. I disappeared piece by piece into the quiet weight of depression. ​Light Me Again isn't a story about a sudden, perfect cure. It is a raw, honest journey through the deepest darkness, and the unexpected lifelines-the temporary painkillers, the sudden sparks of warmth-that keep us holding on when we feel completely lost. ​This is my story of fighting to survive, learning to feel again, and searching for the light to lead me back to the girl I used to be.

In dreams. - This story is based on true events. My late brother, lost to his battle with Stage 4 T-cell lymphoma in 2019. May Allah s.w.t. grants you the highest place in Jannah, my little brother.

"𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒊𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒄𝒓𝒖𝒆𝒍... 𝒆𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒏 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒉𝒐𝒐𝒔𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒐𝒏 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒘𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒕𝒐 𝒍𝒐𝒂𝒕𝒉." 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝗲𝗷𝘂𝗻 grew up with money, rules, and emotionally disconnected. As the middle son of the Kang family, he learned early that wanting things only made life complicated. He keeps his distance from people. He has no interest in feelings. Nothing ever caught his attention for longer than necessary. And then there was her. Little did he know that his interest in her would soon turn into a burning desire. 𝗞𝗶𝗺 𝗜𝘀𝗲𝘂𝗹 works in the Kang household as a deaf maid. She is not there to serve, but is there for a mission to find her missing sister. And that was the plan until Sejun is the first to notice she can hear. For the first time in years, he feels pulled toward someone without understanding why. He keeps her secret, but he's using her like a pawn in his game. Iseul hates that he knows her secret. She hates how he sees through and hates how she cannot ignore him the way she ignores everyone else. He is the one person she cannot predict and that threatens everything she came for. What begins as control and caution turns into something they both refuse to name. Desire for answers. Loathing for weakness. Neither of them knows when they stopped observing and started wanting. ──── ──── "I don't know what you've done to me, but I can't un-want you." His voice dropped, and his hand remained at the back of his neck like he was frustrated with himself. "Then you should've stayed away." She kept trying not to let anything slip through her expression. "I can't... control." His gaze didn't move from her, like letting go of it would make the words less true.

What Am I to Do? A Poetic Diary of Grief Some losses don't end when a person leaves. They begin. What Am I to Do? is a deeply personal collection of diary entries, letters, and poems written in the aftermath of losing someone whose absence changed everything. It is not a story about finding easy answers or learning how to "move on." It is about learning to live with questions that may never be answered. Through quiet reflections and raw honesty, these pages explore love after loss, memories that refuse to fade, conversations that can only exist in silence, and the strange loneliness of carrying affection for someone who is no longer here to receive it. Written as though each page is another conversation with the person who was lost, this book invites readers into the intimate landscape of grief, where hope and heartbreak often walk hand in hand. For anyone who has ever whispered, "I thought there would be more time," these pages offer companionship, not solutions. Because sometimes the most honest question we can ask is the simplest one of all. What am I to do?

"just that" - my second collection of poems. It's heavily influenced mainly by the romance around me since July started, then the small moments I keep experiencing or just once in a blue moon, the third album of Olivia Rodrigo which is "you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love", and songs of my favorite singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. I am in the moment of my life where life and romance are both bittersweet, frustrating, encouraging, happy, and nostalgic. So some poems here are most of the time personal and some are through inspirations. And yeah, cringe or corny too. Haha. And experimental, yes. It is also anthological, meaning, this are different lives and different perspectives from different imaginary people. "just that" because I am torn of wanting for things to stay just like that or I want those to not stay like that and improve, excel, or become better and beautiful. I am hoping some things would stay the way they are despite a changing world. I am hoping some things wouldn't stay the way they are despite a constant world. I'm just hoping and hoping... #1: i wish you find it cute #2: somewhere safe #3: keep it with you #4: jade #5: lessons #6: while it lasts #7: get out of my mind #8: why can't i move on? #9: lost toy #10: secret #11: treasure under snow #12: spring of ghost #13: rainy summer #14: eye contact #15: treat me well #16: so sweet #17: becoming silent, sweetheart #18: feelings' so corny #19: poetic license -- #20: like you #21: right for you #22: makes me wonder #23: confession and closure #24: break the rules #25: no perfect act
