Defining yourself is not as easy as writing a dictionary definition. It takes knowledge in who you are to successfully accomplish it. Knowledge, that not everybody has. A girl. Just a girl. Has only one dream.                        To find her dream.        She goes off on a life adventure to discover herself and find out who she is. But at the same time, she battles her one year before college, what she holds inside, and also questions the world around her. Society, expectations, the truth and the lies behind what she thought life was all about. Will she discover herself? Or something more.  -----  How can one even think of comprehending the struggle of finding yourself. Discovering who you are and who you want to be. What you are now, and what you need to change. Everyday of all our lives we face this struggle. We want to be the best we can, we want to achieve our greatest goals, and live the happiest life.       What if "happy" just isn't achievable. What if, you have something that keeps that one thing we all want away from you. The struggle for finding yourself becomes an all out battle on the grounds that are your life. The ones around you become mere obstacles or onlookers. And the light at the end of the tunnel to victory, is you.       Is it really possible? To overcome your greatest enemy; your greatest obstacle; and your greatest fear? Because that is how you find yourself. That is how you figure out who you actually are. And hell, it's a bumpy ride.

A Self-love Story by Kirsten_Sharp

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.

The Wings of a Butterfly by DavidJamesLeslie
1 part Complete
This is the enlightening and motivating story of two young people searching for the meaning of life and self-discovery as they climb up Mt. Kilimanjaro in Africa. It is a philosophical examination and discussion of the pondering queries of our time: • How did we get to where we are today and how do we go on? • What should we do with our lives and why should we help others? • What then, should we do and how can anyone know what is best? • How can we make the most of our time and how can we be a "Good" person? It is a treatise underscoring the profound realisation of the monumental significance that random events and chance meetings and interactions play in the random ebb and flow of the time and space continuum as we veer and turn on our twisted path through life. It is a contemplation of wants and desires, of choices and opportunities, of decisions and timing, of expectations and responsibilities, of adversity and courage and the changes that we go through on our metamorphic journey from caterpillar to butterfly on our unending quest for meaning and happiness in our lives. There are insightful and thought-provoking quotations from philosophers such as: Albert Camus, Decartes, Confucius, Immanuel Kant, Arthur Schopenhauer, George Santayana. There are evoking images from poetry and modern songs, from artists such as: Robert Frost, Leonard Cohen, T.S. Eliot, William Shakespeare, Lou Reed, The Beatles, Pink Floyd. There are literary selections from writers such as: Samuel Beckett, Joseph Conrad, Fedor Dostoevsky, Hermann Hesse, Eugene Ionesco, Franz Kafka. It is also an interesting and informative travelogue describing many fascinating and exciting adventures encountered in numerous countries around the world:

« Alright, guys ? What do you think about past life and reincarnations ? » Dean was taken aback by Win's word toward his two friends. Who would ask such questions in the middle of the day. But honestly ? He was interested in their thoughts and chose to remain silent. Both Tom and Yong Gi were rendered speechless and didn't utter a word for some time. Yong Gi was knitting his brows wondering when the topic had changed. « Are you talking about the things that you see in the movie ? I mean like ... Avatar : the Air bender or something like that ? » « Without the power of air but you're getting close yeah. » ----- This is the real first fiction I have ever tried to write. As it is taking quite some time to be finished, I didn't publish it yet but would like to receive some positive advice and opinion on it too. Be aware that I am going to touch on some difficult subjects such as psychological and physical violence, even if not too deeply. My purpose is not to hurt anyone and so hope you won't see it as a personal attaque but rather a simple reference to possible events in life. ----- Began : 05/2020 Published : 09/2020 Finished : 22/12/2020 ---- This is a work of fiction and has nothing to do with any real event or person. It all started from a question and has the only aim to answer it. It is very loosely based on fictions and drama's characters or public personality's personality. I merely used fictional and real characters' names for identification purposes. I do not own any of them, credits go to their respective original owners. Credit to the rightful owner for the characters pictures, it has been taken on Ohm, Prem, Boun and co's social media ^^.
