It doesn't matter where I live, if I am in the country where I was born or in the one my parents were born, I am a foreigner to everyone. Here in Slovenia, where I was born and raised and speak perfect Slovene, I am considered an Albanian, always unknowingly treated as a stranger, and it is not obvious, but it's the details that reveal the whole picture. And in Kosovo? Since I can't speak perfect albanish and have different views and opinions, I am  automatically excluded and therefore the question arises - who am I and where do I belong? As humans we need a sense of belonging, and I think that since I lack in that area, I try to make it up with my friends or any acquaintances, in which I put all of my trust and end up surprized, when it ends up shattered in pieces. Who knew what the sense of belonging could do.

Everyone thought she was a nobody because she always kept to herself, but she had reasons why she couldn't socialize. THEY said she couldn't. THEY were scared of what would happen if she let out her power and it would be exposed to human kind. If you're asking who THEY are, then fine I'll tell you. THEY are the guardians that protect everything supernatural from everything that is not supernatural like humans for example. Sure you have some odd ball humans that have the occasional abilities like reading minds and flying but my abilities and my powers are about 10x more powerful. I'm 18 now and I'm graduating this year with honors and I'm valedictorian of my class. Next year I would be going to a college like Stanford or Yale or something. I don't know where I'm going after graduation but I'm going where ever the road takes me. New place, New life. I've never had friends so it wouldn't be very hard to leave anyone behind.

Our Secret To Keep. by ELShorthouse
39 parts Ongoing Mature
A delayed flight. A stranger at a hotel bar. A one night stand. Stranded in New York for an extra night than planned due to a delayed flight, I needed to find a way to keep myself occupied, and I soon found that something. It was easy enough when the handsome stranger introduced himself to me as Kade. It has been a while since I have had a hot one-night stand, and he reminds me how fun it can be. There are no questions, expectations or reasons to see one another again. What I don't expect is our night together to come around and bite me in the ass. When I arrive at a family dinner with my parents and two older sisters to celebrate my return home to Scotland, he is sitting right there with them. Not only is he my father's new business partner, but he is my sister's blind date set up by my parents. We pretend to be strangers because things would become complicated if we didn't. No one ever needs to know about what happened between us. My dad would freak out if he found out about us because he is overly protective of me as the youngest, and with the age gap between Kade and me, my father wouldn't approve. My relationship with my older sister is already strained; I don't need to make things worse between us. Even though he doesn't seem interested in her and he tries his best to show that it could still make all hell break lose. My sister hates losing. She always gets what she wants. I should stay away from him, but it is easier said than done with the tension and chemistry between us, and we struggle to fight against it. No matter what happens, it needs to be our secret to keep.
My Backpacking Memoirs by AtomicJoe
38 parts Complete
In 2017 I embarked on a three month backpacking trip around Europe. Motivated by the many accounts of travel from within religion, I went to learn. But what I experienced was not what I was expecting. This was my first time leaving the UK since I was a child and my expectations of travel and Europe were wildly out of touch. I met more people in these three months than I had in the previous ten years and had many new experiences. I was naive and many of the people I met on my travels could tell just how naive I was. Overland by bus, train and ferry through 17 countries: England, Scotland, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Greece, Italy and Switzerland. To 35 locations: Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Paris, Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent, Bruges, Amsterdam, Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig, Frankfurt, Prague, Krakow, Brno, Bratislava, Vienna, Budapest, Timisoara, Sibiu, Brasov, Bucharest, Sofia, Thessaloniki, Litochoro, Athens, Delphi, Naples, Rome, Venice, Milan and Lugano. It is an account of backpacking around Europe, both the best and worst of European backpacking hostels. Long bus journeys, hitch hiking and plenty of walking. I'm not proud of my behaviour or the events surrounding this three month period of my life, but I am proud to have forced myself to do it. I hope that my story will reach people who are in similar positions to what I found myself and to plant the seed of travel as a solution to those problems. Sometimes running away is the solution. It has also been several years since my backpacking trip and I find myself constantly trying to piece my memories together. Not always knowing what city or even country a memory occurred. I feel like my memories are deteriorating so I decided to document them before fall apart completely. I'm not a writer at all and I have tried to be as honest as possible, to my own downfall. I'm open to any advice about how I can improve it.
