A collection of poems by a young poet who dreams of seeing the world beyond the limitations of the doubts that live in her mind

This is not a guide. It is a collection of questions. These poems unravel the quiet fears we don't say out loud - the fear of being ordinary, of being too much, of not being wanted enough to stay. They trace the space between devotion and self-erasure, between control and collapse, between love and performance. Through sharp, stripped-down language, this collection explores what it means to grow up believing your worth must be earned - through grades, through beauty, through being "the best one." It captures the hunger to be irreplaceable, the panic of silence, and the fragile hope that maybe existing is enough on its own. How to Be Enough is not about having the answers. It's about what it costs to keep searching for them.

I think, if I hold onto her long enough, maybe the world will stay like that-soft and warm, and I won't have to worry about the dark." Ananya : "I would break myself a thousand times if it meant he could stay unbroken. His heart is a fragile thing, and mine will always be the shield that holds him safe from a world that doesn't deserve his light." _______ In the sequel to Innocence, life for Ananya and Rihaan is messy, yet beautifully tangled. Their days are filled with laughter, love, and the subtle ache of a past Rihaan can't fully recall.

But Rihaan's mind-torn between the child he once was and the man he's supposed become-resists. The harder Ananya tries, the deeper the battle becomes, as Rihaan's past and present collide in ways neither of them can control. In the end, can love heal what the mind refuses to remember?

Indie Adelaide Vega has always been easy to love. At least, that's what people think. They fall for her laugh. Her confidence. The way she makes them feel like they matter more than anyone else in the room. What they don't see is how quickly she changes. How carefully she listens. How she becomes exactly who she needs to be... just to be chosen. With Asher Knox, she is chaos-electric, reckless, impossible to forget. With Elliot Hayes, she is calm-softer, steadier, almost like peace. And with Zane Callow, she is everything. Every version. Every contradiction. Every flaw. And he still stays. Until he doesn't. Three boys. Three versions of her. And one truth she keeps avoiding: If you have to become someone else to be loved... was it ever really you they wanted?

She hated him. He made sure of that. Not by accident. Not by mistake. On purpose. They grew up on the same street. Same bus. Same life-until one moment changed everything.
