    I am a cat, and I would like to tell you about my life, from birth to the end. My roommate is human ー unfortunately, not a cat. She believes I'm her pet, but she's wrong. I'm TonTon, a feline philosopher who rules his small kingdom with wit, patience, and dignity. From misunderstanding the "litter pan game" to teaching my human roommate about love, respect, and the art of coexistence, this story traces a fictionalized lifetime shared between two species. Based on the true life of an extraordinary cat, My Roommate Is Not a Cat is a heartwarming Animal Fiction ー a humorous yet deeply moving tale of intelligence, loyalty, and the silent love that never fades.

    Maddie made herself a promise: the moment Apollo married someone else, she would fly back home-back to the place she once ran from to escape love, memories, and drama. Now, after ten years, the man who was once her entire world is finally getting married. So Maddie returns. Not as a lover. Not as a muse. Just a woman going back to where she belongs-or at least, where she thinks she should. But is she really going home because she wants to?

    It all led to this. A whole year of pursuit, multiple scavenger hunts, Spotify playlists, care packages, and video compilations. Maja had to do the hardest thing she's ever done: give up on her pursuit. She knew it as the girl she was seeing for a year kicked her out of bed the night before. She knew it as that same girl asked for a timeout. The final nail in the coffin was not chatting the whole day. A tote bag of her things left by the bin and a goodbye email will be left behind as Maja begins her healing journey. Except, they always come back.

    A collection of short stories I made over time and then put them all together. Some of them were for ELA assignments, some of them I wrote for fun or when I was bored, and some I wrote at 3:00 AM with no filter. Nevertheless, enjoy the word soup. 📚🥣 (The cover art was made in Canva by me for anyone wondering.)

    Some heartbreaks don't shatter you, they unravel you thread by thread, until you're forced to rebuild the parts of yourself you once gave away. "The Version of You I Never Met" is a "Tribrid" book, part memoir, part emotional guide, part psychological blueprint for anyone who has loved someone who couldn't love them back the way they deserved. Blending raw storytelling with attachment psychology, this book explores the very anatomy loving an avoidant partner, carrying emotional weight for two, surviving emotional absence and walking away from a bond you wanted to кеер. Through a story blood-stained with devotion, confusion, imbalance, heartbreak and clarity the author dissects the hidden patterns behind avoidance, the cost of loving someone who hasn't healed, and the quiet, almost celestial strength it takes to choose yourself when choosing them costs too much. Its not a story about blame it's a story about limits, healing, and the power of understanding the truth even when it hurts. If you've ever begged for clarity or felt invisible in the arms of someone you loved, this book will feel like finally being seen. If you're learning to trust again, it will remind you that healing is possible, and that some endings are actually beginnings in disguise. For the heartbroken, the healing, the emotionally attuned, and the lovers who have always loved too much. This book is your mirror, your medicine, and your metamorphosis. It will break you, then rebuild you. It will explain him, then return you to yourself. It will hurt - then then it will heal. "He loved you, just not in the way you needed. You loved him, just not in the way he could hold."

    Some marriages begin with celebrations. Mine began with silence, fear, numbness and unanswered calls. I am Raveesh. This is not a love story the way people like to hear it. It is the story of a marriage that happened in silence, fear, manipulation, and numbness - a marriage my family was not present for yet paid the heaviest price for. Told from where I stand today, in December 2025, this is my truth - of love that blurred judgment, of obedience mistaken for sacrifice, of faith questioned, of a woman who walked out of her home thinking she was choosing marriage, only to realize much later what she had actually lost. This story is not about villains or heroes. It is about how easily a life can change when fear speaks louder than intuition, and how some doors, once closed, take years to even knock on again. This is the marriage my family didn't attend - but lived with the consequences of, every single day.

    I grew up too early. Not because I wanted to - but because I had to. This memoir tells the story of a child raised in responsibility, fear, and silence.

    Welcome to the 1980s on the prairie, where the Wi-Fi doesn't exist, the water comes from a hand pump, and the family "entertainment system" is a cardboard cutout of Chuck Norris. In this hilarious and mostly true memoir, join Ginna as she navigates a childhood defined by wide-open spaces and questionable parenting choices. From digging holes for giant tires just to stay busy, to serving as the family's human TV antenna during hockey games, these are the stories of a girl trying to survive farm life without losing her mind (or her toes to the frostbite). Prepare for tales of outhouses, tobacco-rolling machines, and the time a hail storm tried to win a snowball fight against the house. It's a love letter to a simpler time-when "social networking" meant listening to the coyotes howl and the only thing scarier than the dark was failing Dad's post-episode David Suzuki quiz.

    Every familiar path leads me back to home but this one in particular is truly special to me as it is suspended in time. As I walk through these woods, I can feel the soft wooden paths under my bare feet, the birds chirping in the distance, and the trees whispering my name over and over again to walk deeper and deeper and suddenly I'm in a trance. As I walk through a clearing, a beautiful view of the mountains comes into my vision as I see a tall wooden house perched by itself. A steady flowing creek behind it. It's so quiet that I can hear the water's sweet lullaby. This house has been filled with love, laughter, grief, and sadness. All the memories attaches itself and sticks to every plank of wood in the house. Without these memories, this house would crumble as those everlasting moments is the foundation. As I open the bright orange door, I see a special person who always reminds me to keep going and the ghost of someone else who I always feel as soon as I step in. It hurts but it is also deeply satisfying as it feels like they are never really gone.

    "Ciao, Bella! Piccalo Angelo." He smirked, ruffling Angelo's hair. "Get in, pretty boy." I rolled my eyes at his smirk. "You obviously don't know who I am, Bambina." His eyes grew dark after he realized his "charm" doesn't work on me. "And I obviously don't care." *** WARNING: STRONG LANGUAGE USED AS WELL AS MATURE CONTENT

    When I was in second grade, my elementary school teacher had all of us eight-year-olds write a series of simple poems. I recently found this old poetry notebook and thought it would be fun to share it with you all. This isn't meant to be perfect or polished. It's a small glimpse into where my love for writing began.

    THE WIZARD: A Memoir: The Specification of Survival ​"I came into this world as a calculation." ​On April 1st, 1980, I was born premature, weighing exactly 3 lbs and 8 oz. I was a fragile collection of organs and bone that didn't quite meet the factory specifications for birth. That was my first "Green Light"-the moment I hit the target of viability. ​Throughout my life, I would be defined by where I stood in the "system." To understand my story, you have to understand "The Wizard"-the internal operating system I built to survive. While other kids were experiencing "childhood," I was processing Data, Specs, and Sensors. ​This is the record of how a Rank 58 brain survived a Rank 0 environment. It is a journey through "System Failures"-from the loss of my mother and grandmother to the isolated forests of Arkansas and the lawless landscape of the Niland Slabs. ​I learned early on that if you can't control the world, you can at least master the data within it.

    Forged In Fire is the true story of a young girl's childhood in pre-WW II Tokyo; her schoolgirl dreams; the violence, starvation and desperation of wartime that drove her family out of the city; and the American Occupation that shaped Japan's future. It is the story of my mother, Rita (then named Tomoko), who was ten years old when World War II began and fourteen years old when it ended. Mom had often recounted her experiences to me and my siblings as we were growing up. At some point, Mom began urging us to write down her stories for her. I finally got around to honoring her request early last year (2014). Using audio recordings, notes, frequent phone calls and plenty of fact-checking, I eventually placed into chronological order the various fragments of her memories. On one hand, it is a young girl's story, told plainly. On the other hand, it is a remarkable glimpse into one of history's most tumultuous events - one not widely known. Mom was later diagnosed with cancer in July 2014 and eventually passed away at the age of 83 in August. Although severely weakened from her illness, she was happy and proud to hold a rough draft of the printed manuscript in her hands. It was her final wish that her story be published and so here it begins....
