Self-reflection Stories

Who are you when you're with me? There is a version of you that your family knows. A version your oldest friends remember. A version that appears around the person who makes you laugh until you forget to be self-conscious. And perhaps a version that only exists when you're alone. We like to believe that somewhere beneath all of it is one "real" version of ourselves. The truest one. The one that exists untouched by everyone else. But what if that's not how people work? What if the people we meet don't simply become part of our lives, but quietly bring out parts of us we didn't know existed? The People We Become Around Other People is an exploration of identity, relationships, memory, and all the different selves we carry through life. The friends who make us feel like children again. The people who make us smaller. The ones who teach us confidence. The ones who teach us fear. The ones who remember a version of us we've long since outgrown. And the uncomfortable question underneath it all: If everyone knows a different version of you, which one is actually you?

In a universe where rebirth is as unavoidable as death, to be ripped away from the circle of life and forced to live in limbo is a fate that no soul would wish ever to befall itself. Yet, that is the story of Raxyas. His is one of the many souls confined to indefinite imprisonment in Mortmundus, the world of the dead. After seemingly fulfilling his final mission and earning the right to rejoin the circle of life, Raxyas is brought back to answer for its ultimate failure. As the people he once swore to protect are now the very same who shun and accuse him of treason for conspiring with those he should have destroyed, Raxyas must clear his name and tie up all loose ends if he wishes to achieve rebirth. Inspired by: The Elder Scrolls, Soul Reaver, Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, JoJo's Bizarre Adventures, Douluo Dalu.

About random stuff.

a collection of love, loss, longing & everything I never said

Dear Me is a collection of poems written across different seasons of life. Some by a younger me, some by the person I am today. These are words about dreams, doubt, hope, growth, and the quiet courage to keep going. A little collection of reminders from me, to me, and to you. For the person I was. For the person I am. For the person I am still becoming. And for anyone who finds a piece of themselves along the way.

Reflections, lessons and thoughts on everyday life. Life is full of emotions, choices, struggles and questions that sometimes we don't know the answer. This is a collection of personal reflections about the things that we experience but don't always talk about - emotions and decisions, forgiveness and bitterness, faith and doubt, relationship, social media, traits in life and quiet battles inside our minds. Some thoughts may be disturbing and some may be challenging. Some may remind you of your own experience in life. Well, these are not perfect answers. Just simple thoughts from an ordinary mind trying to understand life, people, faith and everything in between. New reflections will be added along the way.

What if the hardest thing to explain is yourself? A raw, unfiltered look into the thoughts we hide behind jokes, silence, and "I'm fine." Sometimes you can have a million things to say and still have no idea how to say them. Just be careful. There's one word you're not supposed to say.

A reflection on being seventeen, growing up, and trying to understand the space between childhood and adulthood. Maybe teenagers aren't simply "difficult." Maybe we're just becoming🌿.

A collection of first drafts, writing exercises, and the early steps of reclaiming my creative voice.

We grow up being told what is right, what is wrong, what success looks like, what we should want, and how we are supposed to live. But how often do we stop and ask why? Things We Never Question is a collection of essays about the ordinary things we often accept without thinking twice. From competition and academic pressure to success, failure, expectations, relationships, and the lessons we learn as we grow, these essays take familiar ideas and look at them from a different perspective. There are no perfect answers here. Only questions, observations, experiences, and lessons. Because sometimes, we need to question what we were taught. Sometimes, we need to look at something we have always believed and ask, "Is it really?" Because maybe the things we never question are the things we understand the least.

A short experimental work of mine written a few years ago and now finally published

We forgot what made us powerful. In a world where noise defines relevance, these pieces are whispers of remembrance. The Forgotten Powers is a collection of spoken truths, each piece a mirror to the parts of us we neglect - breath, pain, shadow, silence, scars, the tongue, and more. Authored by Danny Mueller, a soul navigating brokenness with strength, this series reminds us: you are not lost - you are layered.

This collection is a series of personal reflections on healing, change, hope, and the quiet emotions that shape us. If you've ever felt lost, held on too long, or wondered what the future might bring, perhaps you'll find a small piece of yourself within these pages.

Trapped in a cycle of memories. Lost in toxic air. Poem for suffering hearts. Feeling lost? Lonely? Misunderstood? Give this read a try. Dear readers, I thought my words will help you feel less lonely. I want to let these broken souls know that they aren't alone. I wish the best for everyone who feels like they can relate to my words. Sending everyone love and hugs!

poetry book 5, this one is dedicated to my violent self loathing!!! so if you've ever hated me, guess what!!! i do too!!! we have something in common at last ahahahaha read this and maybe you'll have something to get off to idk lmao

Status: Year 2 - To be started once Year 1 is over "We went over the terms together, haven't we? What was loss for one. Victory for another. Vice versa. And we agreed on them. So then...what's wrong with the outcome? Why is it like this? I say that, yet there's no one to question for an opinion. None that has anything worthwhile to add at least. It was between us. On paper? 50-50. In practice? Deck stacked against you. As I'm never careless with preparations. Chess is my favorite game after all. But not yours. I see that now. Flipping the chess board is normally against the rules. But we've never actually shook hands on those. Only on the win conditions. It's a...peculiar parting gift to receive. I guess love wasn't the only important feeling sidelined in the White Room. ...how regrettably quiet it is now..." [A crossover between Classroom of the Elite and Assassination Classroom post-Koro-sensei death, featuring an original character and returning ones. All in hopes of a slightly different approach and feel to a COTE Story compared to most Kiyotaka 2.0 ones. I emphasize themes and clashing of ideals, not intellectual power scaling and one-upping. If you treat COTE the way power scalers treat Batman, this is probably NOT for you.]
