Expectations Stories

Love has always been a strange thing. It just quietly walks into your life. Usually disguised as someone ordinary. Until one day... They aren't ordinary anymore.

He was the kind of person who noticed everything. Except himself. Always moving. Always asking. Always looking at something, someone, somewhere else. Curiosity wasn't just a trait; it was how he existed. As if standing still, even for a moment, would let everything he avoided finally catch up to him. He wandered through people the way others wandered through places-observing, learning, remembering. He knew how someone's voice changed when they were tired, how silence meant more than words, how small things revealed bigger truths. But when it came to himself, there was nothing. Or at least, nothing he was willing to face. He filled every quiet moment with questions that weren't his to answer. Followed stories that weren't his to carry. Stayed just close enough to understand others, but never close enough to be understood. Because maybe it was easier that way. Easier to figure out the world than to figure out why he kept running from something he couldn't even name. And yet, despite all that movement, all that noise, there was a stillness in him he refused to acknowledge. The kind that only appeared when there was no one left to observe. The kind that asked questions he could never outrun. So if he spent his whole life searching for answers in everyone else, what would happen when he finally had to face his own?

A made up final to a non existent love story

As a gift for her 23rd birthday, Thalia receives an unexpected letter informing her that her great-uncle Cedric, a man she barely knew but had always found intriguing, has left her a peculiar little shop called "Enchanted Oddities." After his passing, she attends his funeral and moves into the apartment above the shop. After struggling to get the place up and running again, she is visited by a group of mysterious beings with direct ties to Cedric and reveal that the shop serves as a portal for mythical creatures seeking refuge and unique items. She accepts their help as she uncovers the reason she was chosen to continue his legacy.

Writing songs in his bedroom, 24 year-old Tai Vuong wonders if there's a day he can share his music without pretending to be someone he's not. His invisibility powers aren't helping--it's just one more aspect to hide about himself in a world where expectations are sky-high and one slip-up can break his career. But when playing pretend is the cost for playing onstage, Tai must ask himself what reaching your dreams really means. As Tai meets more people and ordinary things add up to extraordinary circumstances, he realizes he doesn't want to change who he is. He needs to change how he sees himself. Set in the heart of Toronto, Backstage follows an autistic musician's journey to discovering what it means to be yourself.

"Come on you know none of it matters. none of it matters without this, us." {The first book in the Tethered series} Bernadette is no stranger to what lurks in the shadows and the pain it brings with it. For the better parts of her life were spent being pulled into the darkness, she learned quickly that in a world of sorrow it's better to disappear than face it. No one managed to save Bernadette from the tidal wave of anguish she rides on, until Alicia. But no good things truly last and if somethings too good to be true it's doomed to fail. Falling for the ghost who wandered its way into his life was never Hudson's plan. But then again, Hudson's plan seemed to be drowning out the existential dread about what his future entailed with stinging fingers and an ashy throat. The pair of them made no sense from an outside perspective. How could the guy who dances on heartstrings and the girl who finds solace in evanescing ever fit together. But perhaps when you bury your true self so far, the only person to get it back is someone who did the same. Unmasking the secrets kept so deep inside is a difficult task, but sometimes Love can push you into it. Indeed, they had a love to end all love. A love for the ages, one to shatter limitations and exceed all bounds. A Ghost and her Tether. :)

For years, I was but a reflection of what others wished me to be. A vessel filled only with their wants, their dreams, their expectations, until I emptied myself so completely, and I no longer knew who I was beneath the layers. I gave my love freely, like rain falling on parched earth, yet I myself remained thirsty. I thought love meant to bend, to yield, to shrink, until I learned the hardest truth of all: "You cannot water others from an empty well, learn to love your own soul first, before you offer your heart to another." This is the story of how I let go, of the love that only took, the friendships that only drained, the life that was never truly mine, to walk alone, to heal, to grow, and finally... to find myself again.

Eden goes to study abroad in London to pursue medicine. Or maybe, it was a simple excuse to start on clean slate. On paper, she has it all. Money, an elite university place, a perfectly curated life. Money doesn't save us all, but it helps us hide without ever getting caught. Welcome to the scandalous lives of London's privileged young adults - luxurious lifestyle, wild parties, and complex romances are just background noise to the sinking ship. In a world of make-believe, a thick fog hides the truth. Prescriptions stretched beyond their limits, drugs, alcohol, depression, and a particular talent for lying. It's just what people like them do to stay functional. Eden then meets Theodore. A hope of being seen. Like maybe this time, in this city, with this person, the fog might finally lift. But two broken people don't fix each other. They orbit closer until the gravity becomes inescapable. A novel about the lies we tell, the people we become, and whether love is ever enough when you're trying to outrun yourself. Because sometimes the only way out is through - and sometimes there is no out. Brain Fog is a story about survival, connection, and the devastating clarity of knowing exactly what's wrong with you and doing it anyway.

Dear Diary, I Chose Myself Some choices are quiet. But they change everything. For years, she tried to be enough. Enough for her parents. Enough for her friends. Enough for everyone except herself. Through the pages of her diary, she shares the memories she never spoke about-the expectations she struggled to meet, the achievements that were overlooked, the disappointments she carried alone, and the silent battles no one knew she was fighting. As she revisits the moments that shaped her life, one question follows her everywhere: How much of yourself can you give away before there's nothing left? What begins as a collection of diary entries slowly unfolds into the story of a girl searching for acceptance, meaning, and a place where she can finally be herself. But hidden between the pages is a decision she has already made-a decision that will change everything. A heartfelt and emotional journey about expectations, loneliness, self-worth, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.

Today is my birthday. I got many well wishes, gifts and everything from my love... I'm happy, really very happy. Oh! I'm already late, it's time for cake cutting ceremony but still I am checking myself in mirror, am I looking good today..? Shall I cut the cake..? ( blowing candles) "happy birthday to me... happy birthday to me..."( smiling with her teary eyes...) She slowed down her claps and the room was filled with only silence. It is not surprising that I am the only one here celebrating my birthday. All the gifts and wishes are by me, because I am the only love of myself...
