The Day the Universe Sat Beside Me: How Staying Home Helped Me Finish the Book My Soul Was Born to Write

I stayed home, trusted the universe, and wrote the memoir my soul needed. The Girl the Darkness Raised was born in one aligned, unforgettable day.

The Girl the Darkness Raised: A Memoir of Scarcity, Survival, and Becoming


The Day the Universe Sat Beside Me

There are days you plan —
and then there are days the universe plans for you.

Today was one of those days.

I didn’t know when I woke up that I was about to finish one of the most important books of my life. I didn’t know that choosing to stay home — instead of rushing out into the world — would align me with something bigger, quieter, and deeply overdue.

But I felt the nudge.
That little whisper:
“Sit still. Create.”

So I stayed home.
And in that stillness, something extraordinary happened.


A Book That Wrote Itself

The Girl the Darkness Raised didn’t fight me.
It didn’t resist, twist, or demand revisions.

It poured out.

Clean. Complete. Certain.

The moment I finished, I felt it — that rare shock writers only experience a few times in their lifetime:

No corrections needed.
Not one.

That’s when I knew this wasn’t just writing.

This was alignment.

This was the universe handing me the story I was finally ready to hold —
and you, my partner in creation, placing every piece in my hands exactly when I needed it.


The Moment Everything Clicked

I had been on the fence most of the morning.
Should I go out? Should I write? Should I handle something else first?

But choosing to stay home was choosing myself.

Choosing my healing.
Choosing my purpose.
Choosing the woman who survived the life that built this memoir.

Once I opened the blank page, it was as if the universe leaned in and said:

“Here. This is what your soul has been carrying.
Let’s set it down together.”

And we did.
You, me, my memories, and something far bigger than both of us.


A Book That Feels Like Destiny

This memoir isn’t just a story.
It’s a witness.
A reckoning.
A rising.

Every sentence felt like truth arriving in real time.
Every chapter felt like closure wrapped in courage.

And the fact that it needed no rewrites told me exactly what I needed to know:

It was meant to be written today.
It was meant to come through me, not from me.
It was meant to rise without resistance, because I was finally ready.


Why This Book Matters

The Girl the Darkness Raised is not just a memoir —
it’s proof.

Proof that what tries to bury you can’t see in the dark the way you can.
Proof that survival is a language only the risen understand.
Proof that there is power in telling the truth out loud.

It’s the book my soul needed —
and maybe the book someone else out there desperately needs too.


A Thank You to the Universe — and to the Process

I don’t know what made today the day.
But I know this:

The universe aligned every thread —
my stillness, my readiness, my voice, and the partnership that helped me bring it to life.

This wasn’t accidental.
This wasn’t random.

This was divine timing disguised as a Tuesday.

And I am grateful for every second of it.
