Twentysomethings cerita

She just turned twenty and decided to finally leave her comfort zone. One random trip to Target turns into an awkward run-in with a boy mid-stream... and somehow, it's not the last time.

It is difficult to get over something you have lost when you have won everything else... The story of my life. My journey - from the decision of taking up Commerce to becoming a CA and getting a job.

No offense, but the mind is a swirling circus of events that has nothing to do with the present moment, and I'm addicted to my phone. I think there's something inherently offensive about writing a book before you're 30, but I'm 28, and I've saved money all my life by giving the gift of gab. So, I've written a book I can only imagine I'll look back in hindsight on as annoying. As an adult with a psychiatric file thick enough to be considered literature, I've navigated everything from inpatient hospitalization to outpatient therapy, from self-harm and eating disorders to personality and mood disorders. I have been studied, treated, labeled, and relabeled. And yet, the simplest truth remains: I've never quite fit in. This is a memoir of sorts. Not because I believe my life is important-it isn't-but because I have an unfortunate tendency to overshare and a compulsive need to make sense of things out loud before they disappear from my brain entirely. If you've ever felt like a ghost in your own life, a whisper between the lines, an unreliable narrator to your own unraveling-perhaps you'll find a flicker of yourself in these pages. A thread to tug, a warped mirror to peer into, or simply proof that the chaos isn't yours alone.

Ruby Dobb has worked with Nathan Dalton for two and a half years now and was not that impressed. The typical arrogant behavior was one thing but after locking her keys in her car after work, that cocky attitude was substituted for sincerity and respect that she never expected from her boss. After spending a little more time with Nathan she realized that maybe, just maybe he was not as bad as she had thought. He had a lot more to him than what she expected. Now concerned for her job, Ruby has to decide if Nathan is worth losing her job or potentially ruining her professionalism with her other boss.

Gorgeous boss, handsome coworker, ex who cheated. Will anyone break down Caroline's barriers and win her heart, and will her past come back to haunt her? As top intern in a Fortune 500 company, Caroline has an opportunity to move to her hometown of Augusta, GA after leaving 14 years earlier. She's not looking for love, in fact she's avoided it the past few years, yet somehow she get's caught in a web of drama.

Anna has it all, perfect sister, perfect boyfriend, perfect job, perfect apartment ... but when her sister and her boyfriend never seem to want to meet each other she starts to wonder if maybe not everything is as it seems.

After a brutal breakup shatters her carefully planned life, Ava finds herself back in her childhood bedroom, surrounded by old trophies, fading posters, and the creeping fear that she peaked at twenty-five. She doesn't know what she wants-only that her job feels meaningless, her confidence is gone, and everything she thought she'd figured out has collapsed. Then she meets them. A tight-knit group of friends navigating the same mess in different ways-some stuck, some pretending not to be, all carrying secrets they don't talk about out loud. There's reckless midnight drives, laughter that borders on desperate, unspoken crushes, and moments so intimate they burn. Ava's drawn in, even as she begins to suspect that this beautiful, broken little orbit might be just as lost as she is. But when old wounds resurface and hard truths come to light, Ava will have to decide: is she rebuilding her life-or just hiding in someone else's? This is a raw, magnetic story of love, friendship, and the terrifying, electric in-between of being young and completely unsure of who you're supposed to be.

Maybe you love me more than I do. By the time Lucy turns 27, she's lived through all three loves they talk: the innocent one, the one that breaks you, and the one that gets away. In this memoir-style story of heartbreak, Lucy takes us from obsessive teenage romances to late-twenties moments of vulnerability, self-sabotage, and almost-love. When she meets Dylan-charming, imperfect, and completely disarming-everything she thought she'd learned is put to the test. But timing can be cruel. And sometimes, even love isn't enough. People get scared, people cut things short. For anyone who's ever deleted the messages but kept the feelings.

Sarah Laker's memory is alive. Alive with the dead. Experiences of strange phenomena are the norm within 28-year-old Sarah's farmhouse. Armed with borrowed equipment, she sets out to prove the place is haunted. A haunting is easier to accept than the possibility that she's losing her sanity, just like her father, but with each passing day her grip on reality as she knows it slips a little further away. Sarah's old college friends, Duncan and Luke, provide her with support and relief from the never-ending worry. Bound together through grief at the age of eighteen, the prospect of becoming more than friends has always lingered in the background. Will friendship and the potential for romance be enough to set Sarah's feet on solid ground, or will she slide into madness like those who've gone before her? Set in the tranquil countryside of East Anglia during the final year of the twentieth century, some of these events are fictional and some are based in reality. The author leaves it up to you to wade into the haunting echoes of the world beyond our knowledge and decide which is which.

One torn couple. Drama ensues when an onlooker gets involved. A fateful intro of two good people. Where will this go?

The year started out weird, but things really took a turn for the bizarre when we discovered the Buzzfeed quizzes were coming true. ***** Leela Pendurthi is dog-paddling toward adulthood. Armed with a useless BS in astrophysics and a pretty decent data plan, the recent college graduate's life might be in shambles, but at least she has plenty of time to browse dank memes. Her half-assed attempts to slay the chaos dragon (and catch the attention of a local, possibly-autistic podiatrist) have been going relatively smoothly (relatively is a key word, here), until her best friend Abby points out that every Buzzfeed quiz they've taken seems to actually do what its claim to do. Guess their names? Check. Tell them their favorite 1D songs? Yup. When it becomes apparent that they have a chance to glimpse into their futures, one asinine quiz at a time, Leela and Abby embark on a quest to do the impossible: find date-able boys in their Appalachian hometown. While Leela has her cap set on 'emotional stability' and a '401k' and 'dental', Buzzfeed appears to have an entirely different type of guy lined up for her next boyfriend, AND a one-month deadline to meet her soulmate. But Buzzfeed won't be able to answer Leela's most pressing question: can she date and get dumped by a stoner in time to meet her soulmate in 3 weeks? There's no way her soulmate is going to be a pothead, right? Right? *kinda for grown-ups. there's curse words and weed*

AN UNDERWHELMING LOVE STORY, told in a series of personal essays that spell out a shitshow. Can 'shitshow' be part of a description?

Winter nights can be cruel, can swallow one alive and lead to desperation but there is still something magical in them. Can lonely souls be consoled by peaceful atmosphere in the dead of night?

During her graduate studies, A.M. Hooper enrolled in a study abroad course that took her to the Republic of Georgia, a former Soviet country nestled between Russia and Turkey. In this short memoir, she will take you on a journey along the South Caucasus’ precarious roads, where you will get a taste of a small, but mighty country whose heartbreaking past is juxtaposed by the beauty or her land and the people who inhabit it.

A random collection of my poems

Cooper Van Ness was supposed to be someone impressive by now, but he's turning 26 and still living with his parents after making a few poor decisions a year ago. Now, if he wants access to his trust fund, he has six months to impress his mother and father by actually getting and keeping a job. Fortunately, his best friend Izzy, as bonkers as she can be, has just the job for him: writer at the Cobham Courant, one of the last independent small town newspapers in the country, conveniently owned by her father. How hard could writing for a little known newspaper be? Unfortunately, no one warned him about Erica Madsen. After 4 years of blood, sweat and toil, Erica Madsen was next in line to be the new advice columnist at the Cobham Courant. When the editor announces someone else is getting it, some rich kid who got the position because he knows the Courant's owner, she hatches a plan to drive Cooper Van Ness to quit. But with her siblings making (unwanted) surprise announcements and her father getting out of prison, will this rivalry with Van Ness get the best of this tough as nails former pageant queen?

Viviana made a choice 8 years ago to marry a man she barely knew when the man she loved broke her heart. But when she looses her husband and then her grandfather, her life changes course. Struggling to pick up the broken pieces of her life she moves her boys to a new town for a fresh start, but life has other plans and now she must face her past in order to heal.

A broken watch, a burning home, and a stolen heart - when Brooks says goodbye to the small town she grew up in, she's intent on leaving her old life behind. However, she'll soon come to learn - hundreds of miles away, in a city full of strangers - that running away isn't quite that easy. New chapters twice a week :)

What does it take to live with a divided heart? Cleo Twain is sure she has found the answer. It takes rules. It takes keeping the thoughts of what could have been separate from the path she chose. It takes putting aside past dreams of bohemian escapades with Wolfe for a solid paycheck and a stable home with Griffin. Okay, so what if every now and then, she makes an exception? She can indulge in a few nostalgic emails with Wolfe, because her days and nights are anchored in a good life with Griffin. She's learned to forgive herself for the stolen moments, getting back on track every time she slips. Because in the real world, her troubled former best friend and her super-solid fiancé do not cross wires. In her brain, or in her heart. Wolfe and the creativity he inspired within her is a dear part of her past, but her future belongs to Griffin--the best man she knows. Until Wolfe writes a novel about Cleo that is not so easily compartmentalized, causing Griffin to doubt the foundation he's built with her. Just when Cleo's rules are needed more than ever, Wolfe suffers a severe bipolar episode and Cleo can't bring herself to abandon him. Through his vulnerability, she rediscovers the tender beauty of her own soul. Sometimes, the exceptions to the rules become the most exceptional part of your life.
