"Vertebrae" explores the metaphor of the spine—not just as an anatomical structure, but as a symbol of resilience, humility, and silent strength. It reflects on how even unseen parts of us carry immense burdens, heal quietly, and grow stronger with time. Through its blend of vulnerability and grit, it challenges clichés about toughness and celebrates the quiet power of endurance.

The Lands of Ralosia series takes place in a world with individuals capable of incredible feats of strength, animals of abnormal size, and races of people with distinct anatomy and cultures.

This book covers 12 of the stories that comprise the series. While one can read them in order, feel free to jump around to whichever ones seem most interesting.

A beautiful princess named Elizabeth Snow, who was once a sight to behold, had been cast out of her castle after watching her father being butchered. She now has nothing, except a bodyguard who takes his job way too seriously. His name is Ace Teller, and he has secrets of his own, though they're rather insignificant as of right now.

Also, it turns out that the person who was responsible for this treacherous act had been someone Eli looked up to since childhood. Of course, she's been in denial since it had happened. However, when the princess and her loyal servant fled, they had been pursued by seemingly selfish people who had been planning to take the throne as their own for quite some time. This, in turn, made Eli upset.

Who is she to trust now that her home, title, and family had been striped away?

But as she fights her way through the life she has been thrust into, she realized something she never knew she had. She additionally learned that her father wasn't the man she thought he was. Was the person who killed him right for doing so? But, be that as it may, he still had the right to rule the way he wanted to. And she was going to take back her country.

Throughout the journey (she was forced to have) she met many people who were willing to fight by her side. Although it was hard for her to accept this as her fate.

Is she really cut out for this? Find out as you read on!

Our nihilism blinds us to the glory

That we miss looking at what we should see

The world is filled with beautiful people

Absorb all that and just breathe.

Hello back people!!

After a lot of thought, collection, editing and corrections, I have decided to make Rhythms - a collection of my poems. It's been a long time since I have written poems and songs and I would love to continue. So this is it.

I wouldn't have done this without inspiration and support. TORN (song version) by @KeshaDEly has me warmed up and inspired inside out. Thank you.
