Growup Stories

Genre and Target Audience Arden Blackburn is the first volume of an epic fantasy saga set in a world steeped in mystery, ancient legends, and harsh, unforgiving realities. The novel blends classic fantasy elements with a darker, more grounded approach, where characters must confront not only monsters, but their own inner weaknesses. It is a story driven by deep emotion, rich worldbuilding, and tense, fast-paced scenes. The book is intended for readers aged 16 and up, as well as adult audiences who appreciate complex characters, psychological depth, and immersive, high-stakes storytelling-especially fans of darker fantasy in the vein of The Painted Man by Peter V. Brett. Why It Was Written Arden Blackburn was born from a desire to create a story that resonates with readers on multiple emotional levels. As a long-time fantasy reader, I often felt that many novels in the genre lacked genuine emotional depth. I missed stories that truly evoked joy, awe, shock, wonder, tenderness, sorrow, and anger. This book was written to fill that gap-to offer not only an engaging plot and a vividly imagined world, but above all an emotional journey. Arden Blackburn is a story for readers who seek more than adventure alone; it is for those who want to feel deeply connected to the characters and carry their emotions long after turning the final page.

Pain? Wag niyong patulan at wag niyo ding sabayan kasi minsan tinuturo ka niyan sa kamatayan pero ang ibang pain nakakapagpalakas na bumangon at magsimula ulit. Si Ace na humahalili sa kanya nung panahong down na down siya dahil sa pamilya ni tin ngunit kakayanin kaya ni tin ang sakit na naghihintay sa kanya? Susuko ba siya o ito yung magiging dahilan para mag grow up siya uli without ace sa buhay niya?

A poem about being a girl or maybe woman

"Do you think I've changed since you last saw me?" She thought for a second. Physically, he'd definitely changed owing to the fact that they'd last seen each other at 15 and were now both 18 years old. He was more muscular, in a really subtle way though. His voice was slightly deeper. He was a lot more confident too. There was something about the way he looked at her. He was much better at eye contact than he used to be which kind of made her stomach go all fluttery. Personality-wise though, he was exactly the same, much to her relief. "Yes, but also no," she finally said. Then, curious, she asked him the same back. He looked her in the eye again as he thought. She wanted to look away but she held her gaze. Had he always had those little gold flecks in his dark brown eyes? And were those freckles scattered across his nose new? Had he started styling his hair too? Maybe he had changed more than she realised. "I think you have, but in a good way." He smiled at her. "You're definitely more confident which is a very good thing." She suddenly thought back to a few months ago. They were texting each other to pass time, asking random questions. She had asked what he found most attractive in a person. He had answered 'confidence'. Had he just admitted he found her attractive? No, don't be stupid. But what if he had? Was she reading into this too much? Definitely. .... Autumn Carson was back, at least, just for a week. While she visits, feelings are stirred, friendships are broken and new perspectives are had by all. When Autumn has to go back home at the end of it all will distance be just a number?

To be fair, I don't know what this is about either. I guess Tiktok made me write my journey somewhere, and this app has a special place for me. So, this is my ride on whatever tips and daily situations I encounter to get to romaticize my life. It might feel like a diary sometimes, it also might feel like a confused to do list. Guess I'll figure it out on the way.
