Girlhood Stories

Bra in the Balcony Yes, my bra is in the balcony. So what? I'm 17, and my balcony has seen me more than anyone else has. It has seen me in my pyjamas, with oily hair, with a pimple I keep touching, with tears I don't tell my mother about. I sit there every night with cold chai and warm overthinking. My bra hangs on the chair next to me - faded, loose, like me on some days. I'm not trying to be bold. I'm just tired of hiding things that are so normal. And it's my simple way of telling that I grew up. My awkward silences, my body that I am still getting used to, my stretch marks, my fear about the future, my friends who are slowly leaving, my habit of checking my phone again and again even when no one has texted. This book is not about becoming confident. It's about being 17 and still feeling everything too much. I tell everything here. The way it is. The way I am. And one day when I will be 25, maybe with a job, maybe with a different life, I will read this again and remember - this is how it felt to be 17. If you have ever felt too much and too little at the same time - this balcony is yours too.

A story of dreams, choices and becoming your own home. Mira was just a girl living in her own little world. Akash was a guy who had dreams and aspirations. Them together was a miracle or a mistake?

Helen Aster has spent her entire life as the quiet, untouchable genius. With flawless grades, a pristine reputation, and a carefully controlled mask, she has learned that staying invisible is the only way to survive her narcissistic mother and her scheming cousin, Isabel. Her only escape plan: earn her way into Starfield University's medical school and finally leave Riverfall behind. But in a small town where gossip travels faster than the truth, perfection isn't a shield-it's a weapon used against you. As Helen's final year unfolds, she finds herself trapped between her cousin's jealous sabotage, a friend's dangerous manipulation, and the intense, unwanted attention of the Morgan brothers. Even her closest ally, Eva, is slowly being pulled into the very circle that wants to tear Helen down. As graduation looms, Helen tries desperately to hold onto her dreams and her carefully guarded heart. But when the gossips turn their claws on her, and the people she trusts begin to choose sides, she realises that her carefully constructed facade is about to shatter. In a town obsessed with the myth of the perfect girl, unmasking yourself comes with a devastating price. Helen Aster is about to learn that having everything to lose is the most dangerous thing of all.

Shri thought starting over would happen only once. She was wrong. It began with a notification from a stranger. Everything after that was a series of beginnings disguised as endings. Not a professional author. Just someone writing her life before she forgets how it felt. Inspired by true events.

Josephine "Fifi" Collins keeps her life small on purpose. She works late nights, reads in her freetime, and prefers quiet over people. Dominic Hale is not quiet. He is older, calm, and always in control without needing to prove it. They were never supposed to mix. But attention does not always ask permission. And Fifi has never been very good at saying no.

Some tales speak of love, some of remorse, some of longing, some of yearning, some of happiness and some of sorrow... Here, we have Anshika mapping through her daily life as a 12th grader. It's not a regular life maybe, it's chaotic, it's confusing and sometimes just her. There's no way to describe what she feels and the tales that she longs to tell because it belongs to the heart. Because some tales are just for the heart...

A reflection of girlhood and its morphing to womanhood. The inheritance of trauma and the effect it takes on a young woman's life.

He was just a handsome stranger at the airport. I noticed him. I told my friend. I tried to take a picture. We started manifesting that he'd be on my flight. And somehow... he actually was. What followed was a series of almosts, failed manifestations, stolen glances, baggage-belt coincidences, and one very determined attempt to casually stand behind a complete stranger without looking completely insane. We never spoke. We never exchanged names. Nothing actually happened. And yet, somehow, a few hours at an airport became a story worth remembering. One flight. One stranger. Zero conversations. Sometimes, a crush doesn't need a love story. Sometimes, it just needs a good airport. ✈️

Deux filles qui se sont choisies comme sœurs. Liora et Mia ont construit leur amitié autour de leurs rêves, avec une seule certitude : être là pour voir l'autre accomplir les siens.

Mais si la vie leur montrait que, malgré tous leurs plans, les plus belles choses peuvent arriver autrement ?

Thoughts.Memories.Emotions. A collection of poems exploring the silent corners of my mind -- girlhood , life , hope , healing and the feelings which are often unspoken those which are misheard . Every poem is a different hallway. Every hallway leads to a different feeling.

Two souls trapped in a passionate, consuming romance - fighting themselves, their love, and their boundaries just to stay apart. Trauma, the world, and the cruelty of life keep pulling them away from each other... Will the love grow stronger through pain?

A collection of poems & prose about black girlhood.

It started the year they were thirteen-though none of them can agree on the exact moment it became something that would never end. Awkward uniforms, impossible dreams, and the kind of friendship that felt like a forever promise. Mira, Ola, and Nancy were convinced they had found their soulmates-not the romantic kind, but the rare kind who know your childhood secrets and stay to witness every version of you. From school corridors to wedding halls, from first crushes to motherhood, from ordinary days to a country shaken by war, they learn that growing up is messy, unpredictable, and nothing like the stories they imagined. Forever Thirteen is a bittersweet journey through friendship, love, loss, and the lifelong bond between the girls who knew each other before the world changed them.

She did not have an unusual life. Yet somehow, every ordinary moment seemed to leave a mark. It is follows the journey of a girl growing through uncertainty, expectations, difficult seasons, and the quiet ways life changes us without asking permission..... The pages ahead hold a story shaped not by certainty, but by experience♡♡
