How easy it is to assume things about people’s lives. To look at someone and think: They seem fine. They look happy. They have it together. When sometimes, the truth is much quieter than that. Because what people show the world and what they carry privately are often very different things. Eye-level view of a cozy reading nook with a stack of books and a warm cup of tea And perhaps that is part of why I write. The truth is, there...]]></description><link>https://www.bychristellefaith.com/post/the-parts-you-don-t-see</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a00398f0cf45a42cca7445d</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2026 07:54:50 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/202c0c_0e1a84c418934d7ea66f856d70fdc090~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Christelle Menon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Behind Almost, Always.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Some stories arrive loudly. Others arrive quietly, slowly unfolding through moments, feelings, missed timing, and questions that stay with you longer than they should.   Almost, Always was one of those stories. At its heart, it is about love, timing, becoming, and the quiet ache of things that almost happened. The kind of connection that changes you, even when life does not unfold the way you imagined.

This one was written from feeling. From questions that stayed too long. From heartbreak. From healing. From moments that changed me in ways I did not understand until much later.   At its core, if they didn’t… you wouldn’t… was born from one quiet but difficult realization: Sometimes, what breaks us also shapes us. Not immediately. Not gently. But eventually. And perhaps that is where this story truly began.

The honest answer? Beautiful. Messy. Quiet. Loud. Exciting. Exhausting. Sometimes all at once.   Writing, for me, has never been simply about putting words on a page. It is about understanding emotions before they disappear. Holding onto moments before they fade. Trying to make sense of things that often do not make sense while we are living them.   Stories do not always arrive neatly. Sometimes they whisper. Sometimes they ache. Sometimes...]]></description><link>https://www.bychristellefaith.com/post/inside-the-writing-process</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a00348fb1ac8cd94fa5a421</guid><pubDate>Sun, 10 May 2026 07:37:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/202c0c_0e1a84c418934d7ea66f856d70fdc090~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Christelle Menon</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meet the Woman Behind the Words]]></title><description><![CDATA[Before the books, before the stories, before the characters who took shape in my mind, I was simply a girl learning how to make sense of emotions through words.   Hi, I’m Christelle Faith Menon, writer, feeler, observer of life, and believer in turning emotion into something tangible. I write stories and reflections that live somewhere between heartbreak, healing, hope, and the quiet spaces in between. The kind of feelings we carry silently. The things we wish we had said. The moments that...]]></description><link>https://www.bychristellefaith.com/post/healing-through-words-christelle-faith-s-literary-journey</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69feec3e4f7ebdc9f6ac620a</guid><pubDate>Sat, 09 May 2026 08:11:42 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/202c0c_0e1a84c418934d7ea66f856d70fdc090~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_768,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Christelle Menon</dc:creator></item></channel></rss>
