Findingyourself Stories

You'd think you could trust a man who promises not to call the police when there's a dead body five feet away. You'd be wrong. Very, very wrong. That night, Alessio DeMarco took me in. He gave me a name, a bed, and the illusion of safety. He fed me at his table, trained me beside his sons, and turned me into something sharp enough to survive his world. Something dangerous. Now I'm one of the deadliest assassins alive-raised in violence, educated in strategy, and trapped inside a family that sees me as property instead of blood. With his eldest son preparing to inherit the empire, Alessio has other plans for me. Plans I refuse to be part of. So I run. Straight into Sicily. Straight into another storm. Because peace never lasts, not for people like us. Old ghosts rise. Loyalties fracture. Empires clash. And the man who trained me wants me back. This time, I'm not running to survive. I'm running to choose my own ending.

"I was sent across the stars to find a home. I never expected to find a mother." When Krypton breathed its last, Kara Zor-El was launched into the void, destined for Earth. But a rift in the stars diverted her path, crashing her pod into the bioluminescent wilds of Pandora. Found amid the wreckage by the fierce Na'vi warrior Neytiri, Kara is not seen as an invader, but as a gift from Eywa-a "Sky Daughter" born of silver fire. Raised in the shadow of the Hometree, Kara'te must navigate a world of biological connections she cannot physically join, all while a yellow sun unlocks powers that threaten to turn her into the very thing the Na'vi fear most: a weapon of the Sky People. As the RDA's greed intensifies and Colonel Quaritch seeks to turn her Kryptonian heritage against her new family, Kara must decide where she belongs. Is she the last survivor of a dead world, or the first Sentinel of a living one? A tale of motherhood, identity, and the choice between the fire of the sun and the heartbeat of the forest.

This is a collection of stories about love, not the kind that saves us, but the kind that shapes us. Each chapter follows a different woman, a different life, different story, but the same questions return: How long do we wait for love? How much of ourselves do we give away? And when do we finally choose ourselves? The answers live in ordinary lives. Women who wait too long. People who fall in love with what never truly existed. Moments when longing becomes a habit, and silence becomes a language. Each story stands alone, but together they trace the quiet ways we learn who we are: through the loves we almost have, the truths we avoid, and the courage it takes to stop waiting. These are not dramatic stories. They are intimate ones. For anyone who has ever loved deeply, stayed too long, or walked away too late.

Han Jisung has always been unapologetically himself-bright, bold, and utterly unbothered by society's expectations. He loves Hello Kitty, strawberry lollipops, and wearing what he wants, never imagining that someone could make his heart stumble in ways he hadn't anticipated. Lee Minho is calm, confident, and quietly magnetic. He boxes, experiments with hair dye, and isn't afraid to speak his mind. Bisexual, self-assured, and a little bit teasing, he doesn't just notice Jisung-he makes him question everything he thought he knew about himself. From accidental meetings on campus to stolen glances in the rain, from playful teasing to quiet, intimate nights, their friendship turns into something deeper, something unavoidable. Through laughter, vulnerability, and gentle challenges, Jisung learns what it means to trust-and what it means to stay. Anchored in You is a tender, slightly mischievous university romance about firsts, choices, and the beauty of finding someone who makes you feel like home. ▪︎ ▪︎ ▪︎ Cover by maiteg12br (found it on Pinterest) I hope you enjoy!

Hidden from both humans and Na'vi alike, the two forge a fragile bond that slowly becomes something deeper: a mother and a daughter bound not by blood, but by loss, choice, and Eywa's quiet will.

But when Dylan - the quiet dreamer who wished success for all of them - vanished, the others were left chasing shadows and questions.

This is a story of friendship tested by distance, of hope that refuses to fade, and of learning that sometimes love means letting go.

Within is a collection of poems written in the in-between, between who you were and who you're becoming. These poems reflect the emotional realities of growing up: anxiety, first heartbreaks, shifting friendships, and learning how to exist in a world that suddenly expects more from you. For readers navigating early adulthood and searching for understanding, this book offers reflection, honesty, and quiet companionship. If you've read Within, the journey continues in Beyond! #4 in poetry 11/10/2021 #1 in sadpoems 11/10/2021

Growing up doesn't mean questions disappear, they just change. Beyond is a continuation of becoming, written from the other side of growing up. Where Within explored finding a voice, Beyond lives in the quiet after it. These poems reflect the trials and tribulations of adulthood: grief and loss, disillusionment and hope, learning how the world truly works, and choosing to keep dreaming anyway. This collection is shaped by lived experience: navigating an unfair society, facing death and change, redefining love and belonging, and holding onto softness in a world that often demands hardness. The questions are no longer about who you might become, but how to live as who you already are. Beyond is an ongoing invitation for readers who are still becoming, but with clearer eyes, removing the rose colored glasses, steadier feet, and a deeper understanding of themselves. For anyone learning how to exist in the real world without losing their sense of wonder, this space is for you. If Within helped you feel seen, Beyond is here to sit with you as you grow.
