The moments pass us by; time flows without restrain, never waiting for us. Before we know, moments in our life fly by. But we always have those moments locked in our minds, moments that we learn to forget, cherish, love, hate and grasp tightly on. Sometimes they remain in our minds like a photo album of the moments that we look back to remember what a life we have. 

But just how many of these moments, so filled with emotions that change us?

Or define who we are? 

This is a story collection with my own thoughts about the various moments in our lives, the various emotions we feel when we are faced with a situation we must deal with. This is a story collection that I hope to convey the various human experiences that would describe who we really are.

Confusing isn't it? 6 years after divorce, the boys met again. But the problem is.. One who was straight back then now wanted another chance and other one who gave up and moved on, does the other one really feel like moving on or feel like starting a new life again with that same person?

How It Was VS How It's Going by YikesItsJade21

These are semi short poems that helped me think about what I was feeling within relationships and myself. I hope these help others or inspire them to not bottle up everything, it will eventually eat you alive. I have plans on publishing them but thought I would try it out on here first. Please don't hesitate and give feedback! These are very personal and should not be used as ammunition. I started writing this late 2023 and until now 2024. This book is not yet complete!

Into Your World by Freethoughtsss

"Has anyone ever touched you here?" My heart raced as heat surged through me. I shook my head and his hand slid lower, resting on my thigh, near my butt. "What about here, Liza?" I bit my lip, the warmth of his touch sending a jolt through me. I shook my head again, and his hand moved to my abdomen, "Here?" his gaze became intense. I gulped and shook my head. His hand continued its ascent, stopping in the center of my chest. I dragged a long breath in. "I bet nobody has ever touched you here," he murmured, his voice now husky and tinged with tension. I gulped, shaking my head again. Moving his hand up to my neck, he held it firmly from the side and yanked me closer. Our faces inches apart. "What are you doing to me, Liza?" Liza Kirby's life changes forever when she accidentally pulls Adrian Scott, a mysterious and dangerously attractive man, out of a book. Dive into the chaos with "Into Your World" where love gets dangerous, secrets come to light, and trust is shattered. What starts as a mistake turns into a game of obsession that Liza may not survive. Triggers: Explicit Sexual Content, Violence and Abuse, Self-Harm, Grief and Loss, PTSD and Trauma, Graphic Descriptions of Murder, Gore, etc. It's raw, it's unflinching, and it's designed to challenge and provoke. You've been warned!! And of course, there's ✨ magic ✨ too. STARTED WRITING: MAY 24, 2024 FINISHED WRITING: OCTOBER 12, 2024

Altered by LuellaOpal

Have you ever met someone who alters the course of your life? For good or for bad, they've come in, given and taken, and then- BOOM! Your life was never the same. There's always a change, an altering of reality. When you meet those people, the reality that you've known your whole life is suddenly gone and a new one has taken its place. When those moments happen, there's no going back. You can try to return to the way things were but nothing, and I mean nothing, can take you back to exactly how it was. That's what happened to us. I think that's why we're still trying so desperately to get back to some sort of normalcy. Four years later and we're still on the ground, crawling, in search of the happiness that was lost that June. Summers will never be the same. Midnight walks through my neighborhood will never be the same. Field parties with bonfires and loud music will never be the same. I still don't know why you left and what lead you to the decision you made. What I do know is that we're here. We're alive and we're pushing forward to the future. A future that you're not a part of. But in some ways, I'm glad you're not a part of it. I just wish it wasn't like this. *** TRIGGER WARNING*** SA, abuse, suicide, substance abuse, and mental illness. This is a complete story that is much like life; fast, full of surprises, and not always how we want it to be. This has been a project of mine for over three years. It was self-published on Amazon, but after some issues in publication, I decided to just upload it on here. I hope you fall in love with these characters like I have. The friends in this story are trying to make names for themselves, figure out who they are, who they can trust, how to love, and how to separate themselves from a restrictive community. As in any coming of age story, they will experience growing pains... but will they survive them before its too late? PLEASE READ THE TRIGGER WARNINGS.
