Overthinking Stories

A poetry collection by Krystel Ariana, written through self-doubt, love, loss, and the quiet struggles of growing up. This is an entry of my life to remind me and you that it's okay to let your feelings spill onto the page instead of keeping them buried. A safe place for feelings to rest. These poems were written not to be beautiful, but to make every second breathable.

She was never the kind of girl who could walk up and start a conversation. So she didn't. She just watched him. From the corridor. From the classroom door. From a distance that was always safe... and silent. He never knew. And maybe, he was never supposed to. Years later, she doesn't miss him the way people think. She misses the way her heart used to feel when he was around. And somehow... those feelings still find their way back in dreams, in memories, in quiet moments she never talks about. This isn't a love story. It's about the kind of feeling that was never said out loud...

Jimmy Moretti had spent years running from his past. Zoe Rivera had spent years recovering from hers. Neither expected a late-night conversation to change anything. Yet somehow, a man who trusted nobody found himself waiting for her messages. And a woman who swore she'd never give her heart away again started checking her phone for his name. It should have been simple. It wasn't. Because Jimmy carried secrets sharp enough to wound. And Zoe had learned the hard way that love and pain often arrived holding hands. The more they became each other's safe place, the more dangerous it felt. After all, some people are meant to heal you. Others are meant to ruin you. The terrifying part is not knowing which one you're falling for until it's too late. "Maybe we were never meant to save each other. Maybe we were only meant to leave scars."

Some words that used to be in my mind

Tempat di mana aku tidak dapat mengungkapkan dengan kata-kata

Was it the right choice.. to exist? Will He regret it? or Will He be grateful? But if He didn't exist, He wouldn't even know what 'choice' is.. He wouldn't feel regret nor knowing the feeling of gratefulness.. there wouldn't be Him either.. Did He choose existence? Or Did existence choose Him? Why does He know things He should no Why do some people see nothing reflected in His eyes? Found by a small church on a stormy night, the nameless boy begins His journey through a world of kingdoms, faith, and hidden horrors while searching for the truth of His own existence. Because buried beneath His human form lies a mystery older than memory itself. And the deeper He searches for who He was... the more terrifying the answer becomes.. After all.. the greatest question is not who He was. It is what He is.

"TOO LAZY TO EXPLAIN."

Lainey Miller had one goal in life: escape the future Pine Hollows had already chosen for her. In a town where everyone eventually became a mirror of their parents, staying felt like surrender. So minutes after her high school graduation, Lainey runs. She leaves behind her older brother, a mother slowly slipping away to Alzheimer's, and the lifelong best friend she loved in silence-because some things were easier to abandon than admit out loud. But years later, when heartbreak and obligation pull her back to the town she swore she'd never return to, Lainey is forced to confront the truth she's been running from: you can leave a place, but you can't outrun the people who shaped you-or the love that never really let go.

A deeply personal reflection on the weight of feeling like a disappointment to someone who believes in you more than you believe in yourself. It explores the quiet tension between love, expectations, and self-doubt, and the painful gap between how others see you and how you see yourself. At its core, it asks one haunting question: is the disappointment real, or has it all been shaped by your own fear?

Semua orang memakai topeng. Topeng anak yang baik. Topeng teman yang menyenangkan. Topeng pasangan yang sempurna. Topeng profesional yang selalu terlihat kuat. Kita semua pernah menjadi seseorang yang bukan diri kita sendiri. Bukan karena kita mau. Tapi karena kita harus. Di hadapan orang tua, teman, pekerjaan, bahkan di depan cermin, kita belajar memainkan peran. Sedikit demi sedikit. Hari demi hari. Sampai suatu saat, kita lupa... yang mana sebenarnya diri kita. Rilly tidak pernah benar-benar memikirkan hal itu. Hidupnya berjalan seperti biasa-kuliah, teman-teman, tugas akhir, dan rutinitas yang berulang setiap hari. Sampai sebuah pertanyaan sederhana mulai mengikutinya ke mana-mana. "Do You Really Know Who You Are ?" Baca pelan-pelan. Karena mungkin... lo bakal nemuin diri lo di sini. ⚠️ Contains: Psychological themes, family pressure, toxic relationships, social media anxiety."

She was always there for everyone. But when she needed someone... nobody stayed. A story of betrayal, loneliness, rumors, strict parents and silent battles. Sab the. Par koi nahi tha.

සමහර මිනිසුන් අපේ ජීවිතයට එන්නේ රැඳෙන්න නොවෙයි. ඒත් ඔවුන් යනකොට, ඔවුන් ගෙනා හැඟීම් අප තුළ රැඳෙනවා. 'නො (හිමි)' යනු හිමි නොවූ මිනිසුන් ගැන, අමතක නොවූ මතකයන් ගැන කතාවකි.

This is not a book about who she was. It's a book about how she looked through my eyes...

Two overthinkers. An eldest daughter who wears responsibilities like a second skin. A youngest son who was forced to grow up much earlier than he should have. Both wonder if what they feel for each other is more than friendship- yet both are terrified of giving that feeling a name. One assumes the other already belongs to someone else. The other believes: "Maybe I'm just not enough." Years pass. Conversations fade. Life moves on. But what happens when two people who were never able to understand their own hearts meet again? Will they finally name the feeling they spent years running from? Or will overthinking steal their chance once again? Let's dive into a story where longing turns sweet.

Behind every fictional character I wrote, there was always a real emotion I never fully knew how to explain. Not a Novel is simply the unfiltered version of that person the mind behind the stories, the military obsessions, the overthinking, and all the feelings that stayed long after the books ended.

Irys is always tired and it's not the kind of tired that goes away after a few hours of sleep. Aleksander is trying to somehow make it through his life without everything falling apart. They once bump into eachother and the first impression that they get isn't the best, but with every meeting something shifts. (I do not own the cover photo !)

A collection of quiet thoughts, hidden feelings, and unspoken words 🌙✨ These poems are pieces of a heart learning, breaking🖤 From growing in fragments to dreaming beyond reach, every verse carries a story that was never said out loud. If you've ever felt unheard, lost in your own thoughts, or found comfort in silence...this space is for you . - LunaJade

BASED ON REAL LIFE Thrown together in their first internship at Veridian Estates, two opposites cross paths-both stubborn, both broken in their own ways, and both wanting life to bend to their rules. Aarohi hides her sensitivity behind indifference, while Kabir masks his emotional unavailability with nonchalance. Between deadlines, unspoken glances, and silent care, something begins to grow-something neither of them is ready to name. With a loyal best friend who always takes sides, a fading friendship, and dreams weighed down by expectations, this is a story of overthinking hearts, misplaced priorities, and love that arrives quietly... only to hurt loudly. Because sometimes, the people who feel the most are the ones who pretend they don't.
