Stories From Under A Bootheel (Rants, Laughs, and Tears) by CFarley982

Stories from another time and place to make you think, laugh, and possibly shed a tear. I know I did, but for me the stories are personal. This is for those who can appreciate the insanity of the world I was raised in. One should never judge the past by the standards of the present. Of course, that doesn't stop me from judging the present by the standards of the past. Age and a lifetime of hard-earned experience has earned me that privilege.

Forever & Always by storyteller2196

Riley is unfiltered. She's melodramatic. She's independent. She's also a hot mess. These things and many more play into the story of Riley Jackson, as she moves with her mother from the suburbs of Pennsylvania, to a small town in Florida, to complete her senior year of high school. Life is anything but perfect for her: she's moving because of her parents' divorce, she's trying to figure out how to get through senior year in a new school, figuring out what to do about college, AND she's reunited with her childhood best friend (and crush), Shane, who may or may not be the same person she once knew him to be. And let's not forget his vengeful ex-girlfriend, Annie, who can't seem to let him go. Attempting to get through life in her own signature and sarcasm-laden way, Riley has to learn the hard way how to make friends, possibly find love and learn that she can't do everything on her own, and most of all, that sometimes, it's okay to live in the moment without planning it all.

✬ 𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝔻𝕒𝕣𝕜 ＆ 𝕃𝕚𝕘𝕙𝕥 𝕊𝕖𝕣𝕚𝕖𝕤 ✬ There is a crucial moment in one's life that determines the outcome of everything; well, as books and movies would have you believe. But Monica McCaslin didn't think she would ever be one of those people, would ever have one of those moments. Brought up in a small suburb, with everything she could ever ask for, there wasn't much left for her to want. Monica's ordinary life was to go as such- follow her high school sweetheart to college, graduate, get married, have two kids; the cookie cutter life. White picket fence included. What she did not expect was to meet a dark-haired stranger sitting all alone on a park bench, at that very same school she was to attend with said future husband. After a brief conversation, just a handful of words between them, Monica decides to go on a cross-country road trip with him; putting her faith and future in the hands of a stranger. Thinking she'd soon regret her decision and the life she left behind, she realizes she doesn't at all. Free of expectation and a future that she thought was set in stone, she begins to find the woman she was truly meant to be. State by state, with each border they cross, Monica liberates her true self. 𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕜 ➃ 𝕠𝕗 ➃ - ℂ𝕠𝕞𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕥𝕖 - ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ ✫ ✬ This is a work of fiction.

NAVEL GAZING: excessive absorption in self-analysis or focus on a single issue by ANMS111

-A Lie I decided to focus on family, choosing to believe and have faith that everything else would fall into place. I wasn't comfortable-or good-at lying to her. So, when Samantha surprised me one day by swallowing her pride and asking directly if anything had happened during our break, I hesitated. The silence, I believed, said it all. I was on the verge of confessing when she gave me an out: "If you tell me nothing happened, I'll believe you," she said. I should have told her the truth then-or resolved never to reveal it. Instead, years later, as I left for the final time, I selfishly brought it up. By confessing, I hoped to push her away. But in that moment, I let her believe what she clearly wanted to hold on to-that I had been faithful. She knew Pippa and probably sensed there was something between us, but she let it go-and so did I. It was cowardice, I know. Still, I made up my mind to make our dream a reality. And for a while, it worked. But fast-forward through the births of our three additional sons, and more than a dozen years, the same problems that once threatened us had only grown and would soon spiral out of control.

It's Not Me, It's You by ActuallyLaura

*WARNING: Super cringe-worthy. I suggest you read this book with an open mind to cliches, love interests and fan fictions. Every time I see this book I shiver, but I'm leaving it up on my site because although I wrote it when I was in my young teens, writing a book is still an achievement no matter how it's written (I hope hahah). Scarlett Scheele's life is going smoothly until she meets Tucker Wood, the new player at Norwood High school. Wanting to get revenge on Tucker for playing with girl's hearts, she takes her chance in trusting his ex-girlfriends, but she soon discovers playing a game of revenge will only hurt her in the end. Romance/Teen Fiction/Fanfiction (to John Tucker Must Die)
