Something that I am proud of. Hmm... My stories? 

I've worked hard on them but only finished a couple. I feel like my stories give me a peace of mind. They let me be who I am and alter it so I can be different. They help me change myself and try to see things in different perspectives. They just give me a reason for my life. In most of my stories, I tell about some of the things that I've encountered or had to deal with. They are a part of me. 

The main ones I have finished are Confessions #1 and Alston & Emmalie (which I haven't put on Wattpad because I'm currently rewriting it because I wrote in within a year throughout 7th and 8th grade and it isn't as good now as it was to me then). 

When I was in the 5th grade, I wrote a really short story about my dog, Coco, who we had to put down. I wrote about our lives throughout my third grade year until fifth grade. It wasn't the best story. But I was proud of it and proud of my fifth grade self for accomplishing it. I also wrote a story about a girl named faith who was a triplet but lost her triplet sister and only had her triplet brother left. Haha. It was weird. She ended up liking a bear and she took care of it (when it was a cub), she even named it Faith, after her dead sister (which happened to be the name of her dead mother, too.) Anyway, I'm just proud of my younger self for writing stories even though they aren't so good now. But they helped build me up to write stories now. 

I have several stories I've started but never finished. 

But I'm always working on several at a time. Like right now, I'm woking on Confessions #2 (which I know I'll finish) and a couple more stories: B.U.L.L.I.E.D, about a bunch of teens who have dealt with or are dealing with abuse and bullying; A Place In This World, about a girl who gets abondoned by her mother after her father (who hurt her) dies and about a guy who gets abused by his father and is the baby of a rape victim (his dad raped his mother of course) that befriends her; and Willow, about a girl who lives with her dad who is the cheif of police and also abuses her (I don't know how to explain that story). And several more.

I don't know if I'll ever finish any of them besides Confessions but hey as long as they keep me occupied. :-) Anyway, that's what I'm proud of. I don't care what anyone else thinks. 

I realized a lot of my stories are about people getting abused; I don't know why either.
