We sometimes think we want to disappear, but all we really want is to be found. That is the case with Eshaal Akin, a troubled teenager who struggles through life with nothing going right for her. Growing up distant due to her emotionally detached parents and several personal struggles, she finds it hard to express herself, hence, unable to seek help when need be. 

When eventually happiness seems to walk into her life in form of two humans, a little help from them, with a touch of love, hope and faith is perceived as all she needs to set things right, if only she lets them in. But some things do not come easy, and perhaps, happiness is one of them. 

Mayhaps, to search for joy in souls is to find out everyone else is just as broken. And to be another's anchor, one has to as well drown, just like the person who needs to be saved.All Rights Reserved

WHAT A LIFE (Nigeria Story) by Mysteryblessedgurl

INTRODUCTION OF WHAT A LIFE! (...the fights of a lonely woman). The story is a Nigeria base one. It's about a girl, whose been left alone in this world to suffer! Her parents and siblings were victims of an accident on their way to visit her in her boarding school. The girl, passed through hell and was even raped, accused and humiliated in different ways. Life was tho on her and just when she gave up and turned bad, life smiled on her! It is truly, the life of a lonely woman! 😣 The strange question is, was life waiting on her to turn bad or was it just her fate/destiny? Funny question but that's a fact tho. Most persons found peace just when they've given up on fighting. ________________________ Ranking #2 on courtcase for more than two months now. Now ranking #2 for maltreatment for 7days.

And I keep feeling this tug towards you, to check up on you but you're so stubborn. I had to pray about it all the time because I felt my heart was deceiving me or something. God knows how confused I was before I accepted that..." He just paused. "That what?" "That I liked you." ❊❊❊❊❊ In my story I'm a child of unfortunate circumstances, born to a reckless father and a housewife mother although the world thinks I have it all. In my story I struggle between loving my parents even though their actions make me angry, I struggle to be the shield for my sister while leaving her alone to pick herself up, I struggle to fit in with my peers even though we we've been friends for years. I can't even hold on to the person who saw me and wanted me. I hide myself behind thousands of questions, anxiety and fear. In my story I'm just another girl raised in Ibadan with nothing to look forward to. Hope is unknowingly what kept me together, hence I started writing letters. What am I hoping for? Who am I hoping on? Why? Why do I write to a person I can't see? How desperate must I be? I hope in a God I used to have around me. Though I don't blame him, I question why he left me, if he's still out there, and if he can still help me. Or maybe he never left me at all.

Finding Yasmine by thatyorubagyal

Yasmine is a star girl, with plans for the future, good grades and a boyfriend to top it up but how can she survive when her enemies are her family, a menacing father willing to give her out without a second thought, a step mother cruel enough to be Shaytan himself and a step sister who's jealousy burns from within, a drive that's enough to kill a person. As her world comes crumbling down, will she crumble with it or stand in the midst of the rumble. _________ I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry I'm not going to cry He chuckled wickedly as Hauwa stoked his hand tenderly. 'At first it was about your virginity but you were stubborn so I took it slow, till I got what I wanted' he said, his eyes void of emotion. 'Turns out you're easy and a slut at that' he completed as Hauwa laughed heartily. Tears fell from my eyes freely, like a waterfall, like dew on the desert. I swallowed to ease my parched throat as I bit my lips trying not to scream. My breath was becoming uneven as I strode to where he stood and slapped him across the face with all the anger, the sorrows and frustration that were bottled up on me. 'You disgust me' I managed to say as tears started to blur my vision and for a second I saw hurt in his eyes or maybe I assumed it. I ran, bumping into tables, chairs and people, I didn't care. Ammi always told me there was a thin line between love and hate and I had crossed that line today with Sadiq', the one that wiped away my tears and told me it was going to be fine, my calm after the storm was actually my enemy in disguise. Shit!!! When it rains it fucking pours. ____________ Will she loose herself or find love in the most unexpected place?

A Promise From My Heart by Queen_of_blooms

In the mundane, ordinary details that gave meaning to his life, she was in the background as his friend's younger sister. Nothing of much significance and notice. But it was just a matter of time before a serendipitous series of events interweaved, sketched and painted her fate into his. Their bland and irrelevant conversations became soulful. In their secret meetings, they shared their woes, the aches in their hearts, the most fatal of their flaws, their greatest victories and soon, the flutter that had began in the core of their beings. There was comfort in being together and a calm that grips their souls in the presence of each other. It took little courage, many inhalations and exhalations of air and break out of cold sweat for Yusuf to confess his feelings, reveal their relationship and lay down his intention to tie the knot with his friend's younger sister, Amatullah. In their marital life, they rebirth, reformed and evolved. This profound feeling brought luminance to their souls and they reflected on each other like the brilliance of a thousand stars. Then one tragic incident changed it all. He lost his mother. She lost their pregnancy and went into denial. His family was thrown into a mess by the loss. Souls were bruised. Hearts were broken. And their relationship was affected. Everything he did to save them proofed to be futile. Their once bright sky had become be-darkened with grief. The embers of his soul couldn't even illuminate hers. The whole incident left him with a trail of questions. One of them was, will this make or break their marriage?
