A compilation of confessions. A diary from the unapologetically personal. An unfiltered tell all about every shade of life: the good, the bad, the ugly & the beautiful. These are the words finally strung together in acknowledgement of my once reserved emotions now put out for the world to take them as it will. These are the words I've held back for so long in fear, in hurt, and in being horribly misunderstood. These are the words of a girl openly expressing her heart and all of its bleeding wounds and safety pinned patches for the very first time. This is Love, (A Series).

Emily has no friends, no life and no hope. She was abandoned when she was a baby left to live with her grandparents. Ben hears the angel singing one day and comes back to find Emily the "ragamuffin" sitting in front of her grandparents bakery. In his search for the mysterious angel with the voice that is heavenly, he and Emily embark on a friendship that will change both of them forever. Please notice the video I have linked to the chapters to the right. I tried to get the original artists singing. Or at least the artist that inspired me to use that song. Also, at the end of Chapter 10 is a list of all of the songs with artist credit. I hope you enjoy!! Please vote and comment.

Caleigh Lansky isn't like others her age. Her little sister, Heavyn, has been diagnosed with Leukemia and their mother died when Heavyn was a newborn. Their father hardly gets to see them and when he does see them, it is from behind bars. Caleigh and Heavyn are sent to live with a foster family until either their father is released from prison or another family member comes forth to take care of them. Problems, both physical and mental, arise and Caleigh begins to self-harm and refuses to eat. A family member that they never knew existed comes forth and takes the children. Caleigh and Heavyn have to move across the country to restart their entire lives. Their neighbor seems to be interested in Caleigh and goes out of his way to befriend her. She tries to keep herself from having an emotional attachment to anything so it will be easier for her to let herself fall apart. In the meanwhile, Heavyn's condition worsens and it is only a matter of time before both Lansky girl's let go of everything they have ever known. 2013, tnl.

No matter how many flaws I possess, You still welcome me with open arms. Words cannot describe how beautiful you are. How simply magnificent and radiant and stunning a being as you. Before this moment, I did not know beauty. I thought I did. Ignorantly. Stupidly. I believed I had seen beauty. But I had not even glimpsed it.

By fate we met, for just that few moments. And by fate we met again, many years later, to realize, ‘If only’. EDIT: This has got on WhatsHot Watty Awards 2012 #394 on 18 March. I love you if you've voted/commented/read.

Have you ever felt like you wanted to tell someone, anyone, everyone what you felt about them, but never could? Those thoughts and feelings just get bottled-up inside of you and you don’t know what else you can do. I used to feel this way, I am still feeling this way, but now I’ve realized I can unravel those raw emotions into the only way I know how: through writing. These poems express experiences in my life where I wanted to say something to someone, but never got the chance or the courage to do so. I’ve learn that you shouldn’t wait when you can speak now. All of these confessions that I have held back for forever are now being set free for the world to hear.

Sarah has been praying for her heart desire, a baby of her own. As a neonatal nurse, she hands couples babies all the time, but she and her husband Aaron have wanted a child for the longest time. A story about love and God's miracle. A baby doesn't need to be born from the womb, but can be born from the heart!

Ben and Emily have grown up since Made to Shine. He is now a successful lawyer, and she is running her family bakery. But, why aren't they together? They are both carrying a torch for each other. As God opens doors, will they walk through them together? Or will they remain apart, afraid of being hurt again?
