Open To Interpretation
This is a collection of some of my old poems, short stories, and other writing that I created a few years ago, while I was going through a really rough patch in my life. I wanted to publish it back then, but this is the best that I can do for now. Enjoy, I guess!Complete
How to be a heartbreaker
"because if you could love someone, and keep loving them, without being loved back... Then that love has to be real." Hey guys, I'm Kayla. What you're about to read is real. What you're about to read is personal. What you're about to read is RAW and UNCUT. This... This is my story. My story of meeting the love of my life. My little tornado of love. Enjoy. XoxoComplete
MOON
"Just like the moon you are. Shining so bright in the darkness of the night. Reflecting one's shadow. Like the mirror, you're giving off beauty to a beauty, madness to a madness, heartbeat to a heartbeat, misery to a misery. You are nothing but my own reflection" He said, looking at me sideways. I stare at him deeply. It was so unexpected of him to say something in a metaphorical way, especially in this time of an event. "Always remember, we are under the same sky, looking at the same moon." I replied anyway... The story follows a teenage girl, stuck with her own, pathetic thoughts. Experiencing a moment of loneliness, difficulty making new friends, problems involving her family, social life, betrayal, death, and questioning her own existence. She thought her life would come to a lonely, and tragic end, yet she didn't know the day would finally come when she least expected it. She'd never knew the day would also come when she got transferred into a school she thought she'd never get to fit in, and when she got to meet this one guy, who believes no one else but himself. She fell in love but she believes she didn't receive the same feelings. Feel free to read this sad, and lonely life of a teenager. Explore the diverse world of high school romance, teamwork and friendship, slice of life and character developments this story will get you into. There's more to it than meets the eye..
Snapshots
*COVER ART IS MY OWN ORIGINAL WORK* In this portfolio of short stories, I have 22 works, 63 pages, and 19,204 words. My stories are organized by emotional theme, beginning with one story about emotion in general, and then moving through stories expressing distractedness, frustration, argument, love, fear, grief, sadness, humor, innocence, and self-love. About a year ago, I discovered my love for the short story and decided to build a collection of shorter works. I'm so glad I did; the variety of plots, characters, and settings I got to explore taught me so much, and I am beyond pleased with what I have to share. I hope you enjoy reading these snapshots of the human experience as much as I did creating them.Complete
Short Stories
Just a few of my short stories written when I was growing up. The themes are often sad and dark. I don't know why that is, but this was just a phase. Let me tell you, the sun always shines in the end. The images are not mine. Credit goes to their owners. No copyright infringement intended.Complete

Fairytale ✨
Fairytales are not only for princes and princesses. They live quietly in the hearts of ordinary people too. These short stories celebrate love in its truest form - love that does not depend on wealth, beauty, or status. Why must every heroine be a model or actress? Why must every hero arrive in a luxury car? Sometimes, romance blooms in the most ordinary places - between strangers bound in an arranged marriage, between a housewife whose beauty outshines any actress, and a man who works a simple 9-to-5 job but carries a heart richer than gold. Every couple has their own story. Every heart beats with its own fairytale. And here, you'll find them - raw, real, and timeless. ✨ Real love stories. Real fairytales. ✨
