No one stays the same forever. That's a lesson that Zoey Newman knew very well. After being falsely imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit, Zoe comes out a different person. Someone who doesn't believe in happy endings and Prince Charming's. Forced to return to the place where it all started, Zoe must confront her past demons if she wants a chance to move on. Thomas Morgan was just a regular brown-haired boy with a hidden smile. Seemingly ordinary, no one looked past his brooding personality to see that he might just be suffering too. When Thomas and Zoey meet each other by chance, they learn things that could change their lives forever. With time, it may be possible for them to cure each others sadness. Maybe, just maybe, they'll realize that you don't have to fake happiness to survive. You just have to have the right person. highest rank- #148 (4/29/16) |Completed 12//30//16|

A Wattpad Featured Story! Others call her troublemaker, antagonist, bully, abuser, and even my mother. But I no longer can call her my mom. This is the story why. This is a non-fiction book. All events are 100% true from my life. The writing style is mixed. All chapters are short. A couple are written in easy to read prose, freestyle. The rest of the chapters by necessity are more narrative in style, written in first person. By writing this it is helping me to stop nightmares, and to finally feel free. I also wanted to write this to help others.

'Why do we lie to ourselves and those around us? It's common for people to say only parts of the truth. Parts that they feel are acceptable or that they believe people wish to hear, concealing the full truth behind closed doors. "I'm fine" is the most common lie told, why? Why is a lie that reflects our emotions, so often used? ...' Natalie Evans is an ordinary seventeen year old girl, known for her cheerful personality and bright smile.

A glimpse into the minds of those who suffer from trauma, anxiety and seclusion. It is very important to me that awareness about mental health is spread, thus the reason for this short story. A battle against all the negative aspects of your mind is sometimes the most difficult battle to overcome, and not many people are aware of that. I hope this story sheds some light on what trauma, anxiety that can lead to depression can do to people, and at the end, how to move past the worst.

*Trigger Warning* Scars. Pain. Fear. Sadness. Things we all have. The bad things in life, the negative things. For some people, it's worse. Their scars run deeper. Their pain is sharper. Their fear never ends. Their sadness controls them. One day, a group of these people meet. All teens, all with something "wrong" with them. As they listen, they discover that they are not alone. It all starts with one girl who says a few words and sets everything in motion. This is them. The broken, the lost, the weary and ignored. And this is their story.

these are all the thoughts in my head- uncensored, unstructured, and exactly as they flow out. this is a technique called free writing. which is why I call this free speech this is basically my diary. (this is the way I think I guess) it's cathartic, which is why I do it. I have good days and bad days but it helps more on the bad days. these are written randomly, whenever I feel like it, whenever I have too many thoughts and emotions and I'm overflowing (so it's kinda over dramatic) my mind (like everybody else's) is confusing, what can I say -alright I'm out-
