🖤 Three Stories. Three Windows Into Survival. Now on Payhip. 📚 Pay what you can — starting at just $2.99. 🛒 https://payhip.com/UnfilteredLives
I’ve just released a trio of personal and powerful stories that explore survival, grief, connection, and the strange beauty of just getting through it. Each piece stands on its own, but together they form a body of work that speaks to what it means to keep going — especially when life keeps asking for more than you thought you could give.
🌀 Filter What if healing came in filters — soft-focus and oversaturated — because reality is just too raw? Filter explores identity, invisibility, and the digital masks we wear to survive when chronic illness and loneliness make it feel like the world has passed us by.
“It’s not a lie if the picture still looks like you… just a little brighter.”
⏳ Borrowed Time Written in the hush between medical appointments and quiet dread, this story asks: what does it mean to live when you're on someone else's clock? A deeply human piece about grief, fatigue, waiting rooms, and the ache of unfinished dreams.
“We’re all on borrowed time. Some of us just got the receipt early.”
🌊 Stay Afloat Part diary, part survival mantra, Stay Afloat is about holding your head above water when it feels like no one’s throwing a lifeline. It’s raw. It’s real. It’s for the days when making breakfast is an act of defiance.
“Some days staying afloat is the story.”
💛 These stories are deeply personal and reflect what I’ve been living through — from dialysis and disability, to grief, love, and holding on. Every purchase directly supports me as I manage life with chronic kidney failure. If you can't buy right now, reblogs and shares are powerful too.
