Stories that feel. Stories that play. Stories that stay.

Stories that feel. Stories that play. Stories that stay.

Welcome — I’m Gabriela Nascimento.
A writer of quiet hearts, playful voices, and stories that linger long after the last page.
My work lives at the edge of emotion and imagination — where fig trees remember, houses whisper, and a girl named Gabriela talks to the wind. Where love misplaces its logic but finds a rhythm of its own, and words tumble, dance, and trip over themselves — just to be heard.
Where even the dictionary must sit down, take a breath, and finally listen.
Browse around. Stay as long as you like.

A love story made of pauses, memories, and the quiet courage to begin again — even when the heart isn’t sure how.

Digital artwork of a cozy cabin by a river at dusk, with a telescope set up outside, and two silhouetted people standing on the porch. The sky is starry with visible constellations and a faint sunset glow on the horizon. Text on the image reads, 'GABRIELA NASCIMENTO,' 'Exactly Us,' and a quote, 'They said once. They heard it always. In between, silence became love.'

About the author

  • "I live in questions. Sometimes they’re called doubt. Sometimes hope."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "Every metaphor I use — a fig tree, a camera, a creaky stair — comes from a choice. Not just to sound poetic. But to speak honestly."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "Sometimes, the metaphor isn’t just a mirror — it’s a method."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "I choose what to frame. What to blur. What to leave outside the shot. Every story is a photograph of what matters most in that moment."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "Some words shine. Others get cloudy. That’s the weather of being human."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "Animals in my books speak in their own language. And when they don’t, they still teach us how to listen."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "I don’t just teach kids what words mean. I invite them to feel how words move."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "Some words are places. Some are prayers. Some are people."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "That’s how I speak sometimes. With noise. With eyebrows. With flying gestures."

    Gabriela Nascimento - Journal

  • "Some words are funny just by being themselves."
