Other people occasionally visit, but they don’t stay forever, because we are the creators. We make the rules.

“Be as victorious as the name I have given you, and bring the desert to its knees.” —  #WeHuntTheFlame by  #HafsahFaizal

“Who said talking isn't doing something? It's more productive than silence. Remember what I told you about your voice?”

— #TheHateUGive by @angiethomas

What a powerful message that serves as a reminder that nobody can dictate the freedom you have within, the strong power you hold, and the influence you have to encourage others that you cannot be silenced because every voice matters! And you matter!♥️

My Fate According to the Butterfly by Gail D. Villanueva

It's like you're getting sucked in. You're falling deeper and deeper, but you have no idea where the bottom is—if there's even a bottom. All you have are fear and uncertainty, but you let yourself fall anyway. Like a black hole. There's no other way out but down.

My Fate According to the Butterfly by Gail D. Villanueva

What will you do when death is knocking at your door, knowing you don’t have much time to live?

My Fate According to the Butterfly is a story from the perspective of a young girl who learned the brutal realities in life and along the way, explores more about family, friendship, change, and forgiveness. This book will surely leave footprints in your hearts!

“I didn’t know what to tell her. That I tried not to think about that kind of stuff, because it was just too painful, because I thought I could never have it, but when I did end up liking someone, it always made me ache right down to my core. I realized pretty early on that the who didn’t really matter so much.

That anybody who listens to me, I end up loving them just a little.”

War of Mist by Helen Scheuerer

With the Oremere Chronicles now officially over, worth of watching 10 seasons of Game of Thrones, I recommend you read this series if you love magic, rich world-building, well-developed character arcs, sensational plot twists and an epic battle leading to a bittersweet ending that will make you want to shield your heart from arrows and flying spears.

Starfish by Akemi Dawn Bowman

It’s strange — hope can make you forget so much, so quickly. That’s why hoping is so dangerous.

The Wicked Years by Gregory Maguire is the first book box set I bought —a somewhat spinoff to L. Frank Baum’s known children’s classic book ‘The Wonderful Wizard of Oz’.

“One short day, in the Emerald City…” Familiar with that song? Last year, I had the chance to watch the musical, Wicked Manila and one of my bucket list is to watch it on Broadway someday.

After 7 hours and my entire sanity, I’m finally done. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜💖 (Side note: i still have most of my series together! A lot of my books are stand alone too!)

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the Living Infinite.
