Personal Stories

There are things that happen at night that do not belong fully to dreams or to waking. Moments when the body goes still but the mind stays alert. When shadows feel deliberate. When voices sound familiar enough to answer, yet wrong enough to fear. When you are certain you are awake - and later realize you may not have been. This book is not about monsters. It is about losing control while fully conscious. What you will read here did not happen once, or in one place, or in one form. These experiences followed me across years, rooms, and stages of my life - changing shape, but never intent. Sometimes they whispered. Sometimes they watched. Sometimes they touched. Every incident in this book is real as I remember it. Some moments are clear. Others are fragments - sensations, fear, stillness, pain. Where memory faltered, emotion remained. Where certainty failed, awareness did not. If you have ever woken unable to move, if you have ever heard your name when no one was there, if you have ever felt fear before understanding why - this book may feel uncomfortably familiar. And if it doesn't, read carefully. Because once you become conscious in the dark, sleep is never entirely innocent again. Content Warning (15+) : This book contains intense descriptions of sleep-related experiences that may be disturbing for some readers. Themes include fear, loss of bodily control, altered states of consciousness, and psychological distress occurring during the night. Descriptions may trigger anxiety in readers with sleep-related disorders. Reader discretion is advised. Recommended for readers 15 years and older.

Not all wars are loud. Some unfold in silence; within thoughts, within memories, within the spaces we never speak of. A Thousand Quiet Wars is a collection of poems that traces the unseen conflicts of existence: the tension between who we are and who we are expected to be, between what we feel and what we hide. Each piece holds a moment of resistance, a fracture, or a fleeting understanding, small battles that shape us in ways the world rarely notices. These poems do not seek resolution. ___________________________________________ They sit with the chaos, the quiet, and everything in between where the loudest wars are the ones no one hears. The poetry of my heart, a retry at my earlier and first collection. A retry at many things, many wars inside myself. The days have been hard. The days weren't ever hard before I feel, when I have to talk myself through every single smile and "happy" meal. A Poetry Collection of a thousand wars... a thousand deaths and a thousand times of trying again. I hope you give my poetry a try! ____________________________________________ The days have been wars lately, quite the time to die. The battles have left invisible scars, hurts me, as away I fly. The people are too happy these days, too much for me to survive a short hello, and a shorter goodbye. _____________________________________________ The Old Widow grieves the mystery of an unlived history. -From The Old Widow Memories have left lesions in their stead. -From Bane How can you ever find those eyes and eat away your bread? -From Lads of The Moors ______________________________________________

a collection of fragments on being and almost becoming (...) I write, in pursuit of not just existing, but truly living; like a falling star longing to grant another wish And so I write, and write, and write-- until the end of time Maybe only then will I put my pen down, as I slip out of my gown and let the moonlight be my crown-- (...) or in other words; a collection of poems, prose, journal, and essays on discovering the essence of self or the lack of it

She thought the dream life would finally make her happy. Alina has everything most people spend their lives chasing-freedom, wealth, a breathtaking home, and the ability to go anywhere in the world at any time. But as she slows down and begins to truly live in those moments, she realizes something unexpected: The life she built didn't heal her... She had to do that herself. Through quiet mornings by flowing water, journaling through old wounds, traveling across the world, and encountering moments that shift her perspective forever, Alina begins a deeper journey-one that has nothing to do with money, and everything to do with becoming whole. Dreams Abound is a deeply immersive, cinematic story about healing, self-worth, freedom, and what it really means to create a life you love.

A personal reflection on my experience living with Graves' disease and thyroid dysfunction, and the physical, emotional, and identity changes that come with autoimmune illness.

This is not a story about dying. It is a story about living - fully, honestly, and on one's own terms. Corey has his whole life ahead of him... until he doesn't. After a life-changing diagnosis, he makes a choice most wouldn't understand: instead of going home, he keeps going. Traveling across the world with his friends, he chooses to experience everything he still can - laughter, connection, quiet moments, and the kind of clarity that only comes when time feels limited. Through the pages of his personal journal, Corey captures not what he's losing... but everything he refuses to miss. When his journey finally brings him home, and his story reaches its final chapter, the truth of how he lived begins to unfold for those he loved most. And in that understanding, they begin to see life differently too. Life on My Terms is a deeply emotional and uplifting story about love, choice, family, and the quiet courage it takes to truly live. This isn't a story about the end. It's about everything that comes before it.

𝑾𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆 𝑺𝒊𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑩𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒔 by ghostlyvnus ✧ 𝘓𝘦 𝘫𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘥𝘦 𝘝𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘯𝘦 ✧ They told her to stay quiet ... To swallow her storms and smile in lace. But Vivienne writes in the margins of silence, her words soft like perfume and sharp like glass. This is her journal. Her rebellion stitched in ink and longing. Each page is a breath she couldn't take aloud des secrets, des chagrins, des amours qu'on n'ose pas nommer. It's where softness becomes strength. Where silence cracks, and truth, finally spills like wine.

What if the roles we play are just cages we build ourselves? Dr. Maya Osei is a therapist specializing in BDSM relationships, and she's exhausted. Every day, she sees couples tearing themselves apart trying to fit rigid roles-dominant, submissive, switch-as if the authenticity of their desire depended on their ability to stay in a box. She sees James insisting he's "a dominant by nature" while secretly dreaming of letting go. She sees Veronica forcing herself to be submissive when she sometimes wants to lead. The ideology of role fixity in the kink community is destroying exactly what it was meant to liberate: authentic desire. So Maya begins formulating a radical theory: what if roles were fluid? What if dominant and submissive weren't identities but states, contextual responses to the needs of the moment? What if true synergy in a relationship came from the ability to dance between roles rather than being locked into them? What begins as a therapeutic hypothesis becomes a personal revolution when Maya must apply her own theory to her life-and discover that deconstructing others' roles is easier than deconstructing her own.

Will Darla unlock the truth... before the locket's secrets consume her? Step into a world where magic lingers in the shadows, and the smallest discovery can alter everything.

A collection of unspoken feelings, quiet realizations, and late-night thoughts that linger longer than they should. These words were never meant to be perfect - just honest. Maybe you'll see a part of yourself in them too. For hearts that feel too much, think too deep, and love too quietly.
