In This Lifetime has been sitting in my heart for a while now. I started writing it back in August 2024, and trust me, this book has gone through more identity crises than I have — title changes, plot changes, character changes... everything. This is the version that feels the most like itself.

I used to write on Wattpad, and coming back to writing after leaving all of that behind honestly feels both comforting and scary. But I missed this feeling too much not to return.

This story is messy, emotional, comforting, painful, and full of people trying to find love, themselves, and a reason to stay. Some parts are imagined, some parts are inspired by feelings I probably should've kept to myself, but here we are.

If you give this story a chance, I hope it makes you feel something. And if you stay till the end? I think that would mean a little more to me than I'll ever be able to say.
