Smiling but Depressed

We all have that one friend, that one person we know that is always happy and smiling, never angry or upset, just calm and peaceful. That one person where it seems like their life is perfect and they have no problems or issues. That one person we all go to vent to and just tell why we hate our lives but we never really ask them. We may not know it but they are always there for us when we need them but who is there for them. We never question their life behind closed doors we just assume that it is all cupcakes and rainbows. But what really happens behind those doors, is the smile real or just a mask for what they are really feeling. Maybe think twice before you assume someones decisions in life.

The Value Of A Smile
Smile. We do that every day. But sometimes we just forget how valuable that smile actually is. Toshiro, as he calls himself, lost his mother at birth, and is living his life with his father. But little does anyone know the dark secret that the family holds... At a young age, Toshiro runs away from home and starts living an independent life. He goes to school, work, like a normal child would. But one thing is different. He never smiles. Hi! So this is basically a story about a boy with an abusive father that runs away from home and lives on his own. It's about how he copes with the difficulties and changes in his life, and it has a happy ending!! This has no deep angst in it btw. I own none of the pictures, but the story is mine. Enjoy!! 😊 ⚠️ warning ⚠️: description of abuse. Description of anxiety and panic attacks.Complete

The world is a cruel place. For some people, they love to live in this happy, forgiving, earth. But, the others who aren't so lucky, want to do anything and everything to escape it's unjust ways. To live in another world, a world of peace, of kindness. They say that the best people are the ones who get hurt the most. I am one of them. I hate the way that everyone is so happy in this earth, the way that they can live a good and cheerful life, when I am stuck with the dark depths of depression. In my world, I lacked happiness, friendship, and love. But, something changed. No, someone changed everything. He changed the way I looked at the world. He changed the way I wake up in the morning. And he gave me those three things that I lacked the most.Complete![COTE | | Bound | | [Suzune x Kiyotaka]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/366653018-256-k542510.jpg)

| | BOUND | | [Suzune x Kiyotaka] ~ Snippet of Chapter 1 ~ "Ayanokoji." She suddenly said my name with such determination that it almost scared me - key word: almost -, "Are you perhaps free tomorrow?" "I wouldn't say I'm busy. As a caution, I have to ask - if you are perhaps invited me on an outing - I would have the wrong idea to assume this is a food trap, correct?" "It's bold of you to incorrectly assume that I'm only offering you to come on an outing with me because I want something from you, alas, you are mistaken. Is it wrong to want to go on an outing with a f-friend?" "I suppose it's not wrong to want to go out with a friend Horikita, I'll accept you on the offer - seeing as I lack the means to refuse," I said, glancing at the compass that had returned to the hand of its owner, glinting in the sunlight. "Lack the means?" She falsely smiled at me, caressing her weapon, after all, it's rare to see her genuinely smile, "You have every right to refuse my kind offer Ayanokoji." "I gracefully accept your offer Horikita," STARTED : Sunday 14th April 2024 ENDED :Complete

A Self-love Story
Bliss. Delight. Contentment. Euphoria. Elation. Joy. Glee. Felicity. Jubilation. These are all words synonymous to the word happiness. But what is true happiness? Happiness is that feeling of butterflies fluttering around in your chest, trying to break out. Happiness is that invisible fluid rushing in your veins, making you shiver in the most wonderful way. Happiness is the force that pulls your cheeks up into the widest smile and makes your eyes twinkle. Happiness makes you light-headed and giddy, it is in fact like alcohol. Well then, I am utterly and completely drunk. When you're happy, everything feels amazing. Even small insignificant things like getting up in the morning. The golden hue of sunlight streaming in through the curtains feels like a soft caress from the hand of a lover. The birds seem to chirp sweetly outside, a melody to which the leaves sway as if mesmerised by their music. The curtains tango with the wind beautifully. Every little thing seems perfect. And that's a word I'd use to describe my life. Perfect. To give you a little introduction about me, let me start by explaining the most important aspects of my life. I have a loving family. There's my sarcastic, yet surprisingly sweet brother, my beautiful mother (both in looks and spirit) and my stern, yet humorous father. I have the best best friend, Charlotte and I have an amazing boyfriend, Theo. I'm quite beautiful and popular too which I'm not saying to brag, I'm just stating the truth. So that is my life. The life of Tia-Jade Garcia. *** What she didn't know was that every high has a low and that the higher you rise, the lower you fall and the more painful that fall is. Follow her story as she loses everybody she ever cared for and thereby her happiness. See her fight all of her demons by herself. Watch her fall in love...with herself because the only person's love you'll always need is yours. This is her self-love story.Complete![The Two Of Us Against The World [Kiyone x OC/Reader]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/324390374-256-k453515.jpg)

Classroom of the Elite: Asylum of Shadows
In an abandoned asylum far from the comforts of the school grounds, Ayanokoji and his classmates-Kouenji, Sakayanagi, and Amasawa-awaken with no memory of how they arrived. Surrounded by decaying walls, eerie whispers, and the constant threat of grotesque patients lurking in the shadows, they quickly realize they're not just lost-they're test subjects in a twisted experiment. Forced to rely on one another, they must navigate the dark maze, uncover hidden secrets, and face their worst fears. With survival on the line, each student's true nature and hidden strengths are revealed, along with their personal limits. But in a place where paranoia reigns, one question remains: who is the puppet master behind this deadly game, and what's their endgame? Will Ayanokoji's cold logic and strategy be enough to keep them alive? Or will the darkness lurking in each of their hearts prove to be their undoing?
