Femininity Stories

Becoming HER ; A poetry collection to become her, i had to say goodbye to every girl i once was.

This book is a series of chapters of what I believe it means to be an intersectional feminist. In it, I explore content ranging from the false dichotomy, to rape culture and toxic masculinity. It is important to note that this book will not be for everybody. Some of these concepts are difficult to understand. If you disagree with what I have said, I ask that you exit my book and move on. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion; this is mine.

I have always been human. long before this word became so popular and everyone is having it in their Bio on Instagram. I have been more humane than most of the people surrounding me even from very early age! I believe it's purely because of that, I have always been excluded. I was never anyone's favourite. I was simply too much to handle. Too strict. Too Right. Too kind. That's in early age is never fun. Apparently it's still not fun in adulthood. Being Authentic, being different and being myself has always gotten me the second place. Now I don't know why people keep saying that being yourself is the most precious thing ever if it's that unappreciated! but people say a lot of things now a days while they purely mean the opposite. Sometimes they don't mean anything at all, they're just following a trend! Anyways, Being myself, despite the fact it's been my hardship, it's something that I've never regret it for a second. And I believe it's the reason behind every good thing I have or experienced in my life. That doesn't mean It was an easy ride. It also doesn't mean I am done struggling or I know myself or understand how it works 100%. I don't have a clue how to take control of my life. And despite the fact I am a very educated, reasonable and sensible person, despite the fact I have most of the questions answered. I am still struggling and I am in pain. I don't know where I am in my life, what's my purpose, why I am not happy and in peace with myself and in my life, what I should do to get out of this dilemma and most of all, When these voices in my head are going to stop. I wish I can take life more lightly, worry less, stop stressing and overthinking. To a point my conscious self is somehow separated from my subconscious self. I decided I will write, talk , do whatever it takes to get all these emotions and ideas outside my little poor helpless tired brain. Maybe when it's all out, I will have some space to breath.. .

Since birth, everyone has told Pecola Robinson that she was ugly, unwanted, and unworthy of being loved or loving herself. And Pecola had accepted this as fact. Thus, she has always tried to change and shrink herself so that she could be accepted by people, even adopting the name Robin as her preferred name to get people to love her while simultaneously allowing her to disappear and hide within and from the world of Eagleland. However, a year-long study abroad experience living amongst the Finali people across the globe presents Pecola the opportunity to take responsibility for her own happiness by moving on to heal from her trauma with the support of other women in her life or continue being defined by her trauma and existing as the tolerated good girl known as Robin. cover by cil @sereneur GENERAL | LITERARY | BLACK SPECULATIVE FICTION tw: trauma; gendered violence/intimate violence; anxiety/depression

Title: WHITE GIRL Becky thought she was in control. At 22, she's loud, reckless, and convinced the world owes her something. After a chaotic arrest and a dramatic courtroom sentence, she's thrown into prison-only to fight her way through it, manipulate her surroundings, and escape with two inmates who see opportunity in her desperation. On the outside, Becky is determined to get what she believes is hers: money, power, and freedom. That path leads her straight back to Leroy-the man who once promised her everything but never gave her anything real. As Becky dives deeper into Leroy's world, she gets pulled into a fast, dangerous life filled with nightlife, money, manipulation, and illusion. What starts as confidence quickly turns into survival, and every move she makes pushes her further into a cycle she doesn't understand. Trying to prove she's independent, Becky builds a life on her own-but it's unstable, performative, and constantly slipping through her hands. Encounters with people from her past and present begin to expose the truth: she's not as in control as she thinks. When Becky finally confronts Leroy and demands what she believes she's owed, it leads her to his home-where everything unravels. A failed robbery turns into a confrontation with the one person she never expected: Leroy's wife. What follows is a brutal wake-up call that forces Becky to face the reality she's been running from all along. In the end, as the police take her away and the world watches, Becky finally understands- She was never the main character. She was the spectacle. And now everyone's watching the fall.

From personal experiences as a pre-teen, to general ideas surrounding body image and self worth, this short book encourages feminine empowerment and the normalisation of features which have been deemed flaws according to socially constructed beauty standards in todays society.

He'll give you the body you've begged for. In return, he'll take the one thing that makes life sweet. If you dial your own number at 4:44 a.m., a guide picks up. He grants wishes-at a cost.

Sometimes evil comes in the prettiest package. Eliza Haley is the new girl in quiet little Goddard Falls. This is to the extreme dismay of the entire female population; she is a chillingly beautiful girl, and within days, it seems she has the male species in town wrapped around one perfectly manicured finger. At first, Gwen Donovan has not a care in the world for this new specimen. As she vies for her spot as valedictorian, takes care of her ailing grandmother at home, and struggles to motivate her hurting boyfriend, the last person on her mind is the new girl. But as sleepy Goddard Falls suddenly becomes the epitome of strange happenings and natural phenomena, Gwen can't help but get mixed up with the increasingly suspicious Eliza Haley.

After her failed efforts of trying to make her daughter a respectable young woman, she decides to send her daughter, Annika to a Russian school of elegance in the quaint countryside.

This is an honest reflection of Madisons journey as a transgender woman. An exploration of the pain, triumphs, and eventual liberation that comes with embracing your true self. It's not a simple tale of transition; it's about a life shaped by hidden truths, years of self-deception, and the heart-wrenching consequences of finally telling the truth. In these pages, you'll find the raw emotions of guilt, grief, and fear, but also the hope and relief that come when you choose to live authentically. I wrote this to be real and vulnerable, to share my personal experiences with the hope that others might relate, find comfort, or feel inspired to embrace their own truth. Transitioning, for me, wasn't just about changing my appearance or my name, it was about shedding the skin of someone I was never meant to be and stepping into the woman I always was. This is my process of unburdening myself of the lies I lived for so long, of letting go of shame, and finding the strength to be seen, truly seen, for the first time in my life. If you're someone who's felt like you had to hide pieces of yourself, if you've lived with the suffocating weight of secrecy, or if you've found the courage to step into the unknown of your own identity, then this story might resonate with you. It's a very rough draft of the story that made me. It is not easy, and it's certainly not perfect, but it's mine. And for the first time in my life, that feels like enough.
