    After returning home from an boarding school in Colorado, a young girl is confronted with the unsettling realization that nothing feels the same. Friends have changed, family dynamics feel unfamiliar, and the place she once called home no longer fits the person she has become. Told through the present moment and reflections on her time away, Drifting traces the quiet ways independence, distance, and time reshape identity and relationships. As she looks back on the experiences that changed her while trying to reconnect with a life that moved on without her, the story explores belonging, growth, and the feeling of returning to somewhere familiar only to realize you are no longer the same. Drifting is a coming-of-age story about change, separation, and learning how to exist between who you were and who you are becoming

    Sometimes love arrives quietly, in the spaces you least expect. Mara's life is predictable, measured, and carefully contained-until a chance encounter in a darkened bookstore changes everything. One conversation, one shared coffee, and a slow, unfolding connection teaches her that love isn't always grand or dramatic; sometimes it's the quiet moments, the shared silences, and the gentle persistence of someone choosing to stay. "Tuesdays in the Dark" is a tender, reflective story about unexpected love, small acts of courage, and the everyday choices that shape a lifetime. With warmth, humor, and bittersweet insight, it captures the way ordinary days can hold extraordinary beginnings.

    Eli never meant for it to be a love story - not really. It's just what happens when growing up, faith, and heartbreak keep crossing paths. From noisy villa Sundays to quiet airport goodbyes, this story follows a boy learning how to love - and how to let go - without losing his faith in the process. Told across years, through friends, prayers, and silences, "If I Ever See Her Again" is a slice-of-life journey about timing, grace, and finding peace after almost. Based on a true story. Written from memory, not fantasy.

    Highest Rank: #601 in Non-Fiction Remember the Federalist Papers? If you're interested in an angsty college student's perspective on what's going on in this Wattpad community, this is the place to browse. I warn you, I use college level vocabulary and I attack lofty concepts. This is not a read for the faint of heart but the chapters are short. I try to be succinct but I have a tendency to digress. Feel free to ask questions and discuss, but be warned, I will very likely respond ;)
