He was unnaturally good at balancing. He had keen hearing and sight. His senses always felt heightened and he could predict when people were near. Believing he had a genetic condition that kept him from growing beyond four-and-a-half inches, Parker attributed his natural skills as part of his condition and lived as normal of a life as possible. Once he gets old enough, however, his world comes crashing down and makes him question who - what - he is. ~~~~~^*^*^*^*^~~~~~ This is the story of their journey.

Copyright © 2025 Mayelin Luciano Santos. All rights reserved. First of all, welcome! all poems are written by me. In this first part, I invite you to dive into reflections on life, self-definition, and the power of words. Each poem is an exploration of how our actions speak louder than our words, how peace and happiness don't rely on external factors but are born within ourselves. Through these verses, I seek to share the journey of finding inner strength, self-respect, and the importance of protecting our peace. Here, words are not only meant to express but to transform. This book has a Spanish version called "Ecos de mi alma".

This book isn't a story it's me, just talking, just venting, just saying everything that's been on my mind. It started as a way to let out everything I was feeling, and somewhere along the way, it became a book. I'm not here to craft a perfect narrative-I'm here to be real. This is me, unapologetically. ╱|、 (˚ˎ 。7 |、˜〵 じしˍ,)ノ

Mihira was never one to play by society's rules. A 26-year-old woman who believed in nothing but her own independence, Mihira's world was built around work, self-sufficiency, and a life free of the messiness of emotions. Love? Marriage? Family? All overrated. But when an unexpected visitor-a newborn baby-shows up on her doorstep, Mihira's neatly constructed world starts to crumble. With no idea how to care for a child, and even less desire to do so, Mihira finds herself forced to confront everything she's been running from: relationships, responsibility, and a deeper part of herself she never knew existed. As Mihira fights her way through sleepless nights, unexpected attachments, and the constant pressure from her mother to settle down, she learns that sometimes life doesn't give you what you want-it gives you what you need. And sometimes, the best miracles happen when you least expect them. "Forgive and forget," they say. Mihira's response? "I'm neither god nor do I have Alzheimer's." In this heartfelt, humorous, and tear-jerking tale of personal growth, love, and the unexpected twists of life, Mihira must learn that some things-no matter how hard you try to ignore them-can change everything.
