Exhaustion Stories

Some things are best left unsaid. I find it easier to write them down on paper with a pen. These are all the letters I'll never send.

Kaitlyn Sterling has spent her entire life becoming the girl everyone wants her to be. A perfect daughter. A gifted ballerina. A future she never chose for herself. But behind the perfect performances, expensive clothes and constant expectations, Kaitlyn is slowly falling apart. She is exhausted, trapped and terrified of what will happen if she ever stops dancing. Then she meets someone she was never supposed to meet. Someone who knows nothing about her perfect world, her family or the future they planned for her. Someone who sees her differently - even when she wishes he wouldn't. And somehow, the person who turns her life upside down becomes the one who forces her to finally look at herself. "What if I am not actually talented? What if it was never me? What if the girl everyone has been praising is just whatever this little packet turns me into?" For the first time, Kaitlyn begins to wonder who she really is beneath everything she was raised to become. Because sometimes, finding yourself means losing everything first.

in which the lost will never quite be found

Pretty Much what the Title Say's-

After Haldir's life is turned upside down he is forced to find a way to provide after his brothers, Rumil and Orophin, and to ensure the safety of his home. All characters are not owned by me except for a few that will be introduced later on in the story.

An ordinary teenager who saved people, but himself. The very 1st story I ever made in my life back in 2024, when I was still 13. I hope you enjoy.

I'm really tired

After Koshi collapses due to a fever, it's up to the Goddess Dormitory to help him recover.

This came from a night where I was too tired to think, yet couldn't stop thinking. I kept chasing answers instead of rest, even though part of me knew sleep was the only answer that mattered.

Pulse. Pulse. Pulse. The earth’s heartbeat, pounding blood through every surface vein, thundering out the water that sustains all life. The lifeblood of the earth that keeps all of us alive, that keeps everything, everywhere, alive. So what happens when it stops? When the abused earth decides that we have stopped deserving her precious blood, and her heart slows, and stills, and all the water goes dry, all over the world. Only a small group of specially chosen individuals, spread across the planet, uniquely talented, can understand the message. They’re the only ones with the water. And if they don’t find a way to plead the case for humanity, no one will. But the real question, perhaps, is if humanity deserves to be saved at all. “What do you do when the earth turns against you?”

A fictional memoir of survival, "Do I Dare" tells the story of a young deaf woman who recalls her harsh, tumultuous past & childhood spent in extreme poverty, abuse, disability and homelessness. Returning to America from her vagabond travels, Tullamore Booker begins writing a college admission essay with no filter, no limits and no regard for formalities. With an abusive, raging alcoholic father with black market ties and a junkie prostitute mother, it's not hard to image how she got her name after a brand of Kentucky whiskey. After finally escaping their childhood home of abuse, neglect and extreme Appalachian poverty, Tulla and her older brother, Robbie, hang on by threads and well-meaning little white lies. Tulla recalls every wayward, complicated event that made her into the person she is today, recalling how she was kicked out of the private school she lied so elaborately to get into, hoping it'd be her one chance of normalcy. In and out of foster care and dodging law enforcement, Tulla befriends Whitney, the public school guidance counselor, who helps her land the miracle opportunity of Cochlear Implant surgery. With her new senses, she discovers the world of music, in her own way. Eventually finding inspiration and refuge in a passionate radio show host, who takes her under his wing as an intern and introduces her to a world of therapeutic honesty and eternal compassion for others in time of need. Tullamore Booker leaves no detail out of all her battle scars and journeys into the unknown, telling her story of defying odds and overcoming the daunting possibility of becoming a product of your environment.

Description Everyone thinks they know me. They know my parents. They know the church. They know the image. But they don't know what it feels like to live inside it. This is not a perfect pastor's kid story. This is not soft. This is not polished. This is what it actually feels like- to be raised in faith, expected to be strong, and still feel like you're slowly losing yourself in places where you were supposed to feel closest to God.

just me talking to the void about daily shenanigans

A poem detailing frustrations of how my father has treated my family and life. I encourage all to fit this to their life, to maybe read it and gain something from it, or just simply enjoy. Thank you :)

Collection of poems or random often rhyming thoughts. This is more for me but if you choose to read please don't criticize I know some of it is actual trash I actually wrote it into one of them. First one I belive. 🤷🏼‍♀️😊 most is sad too. So know that.

This poem speaks about the feeling of reaching a breaking point, where the weight of one's struggles and pain becomes too much to bear. It speaks about the struggle to keep up appearances and the longing for relief.

This place was...it was beautiful. It was secluded, it was quiet, and it was ours for an entire weekend, barely any cell service, absolutely no cable or internet. It was a great spot to just get away from it all.

It's been a while since VIXX was let go. Everyone's moved on. Taekwoon's a teacher. Wonshik is a comic book artist. Hongbin and Jaehwan are cooks at the local diner. Hakyeon works a bar at night and the cafe by day. Hyuk works at the coffee shop. They see each other almost every day, and feelings are getting weird. Just what will happen with this little group? Unexpected after effects can happen, and do.
