I breathed in deeply.

"I am a nail."

This is my truth by KristinaFigolah

My life has been an intense journey from a little girl who was beaten down and abused into believing that she was worthless, to a woman at 43 years of age who is still desperately searching for who she truly is. I found her though. I did. And she writes like me, from inside of me. She is me. This girl that I've been in love with since time first existed, is indeed me. The way that she walks. With her hands... and how she talks? The hearts that she's captured, the souls that she has inspired. I'm now trying to be her. I've never felt that I was good enough to actually be myself!!! I always knew how pure and clear and free I was inside. But people told me otherwise, in a very cruel way. No one ever spared my feelings or thought to speak to me with kindness or love. My parents were very serious and strict people. They believed that there was only 1 way to act and inside I knew that I did NOT fit in the parameters of the behavior expected of me. And every single time I made my Step Daddy sigh or frown it felt like I knife in my heart. I was a let down. Always too loud. Always moving too much. Always too fat and always too ugly. Always too much. Unless I sat quietly. But I've always been a firecracker and all of that containment really made me want to blow off! All of what was inside of me, swirling and dividing in me. Burying the side of me that I loved the most! I was a bastard and a blasphemy. Harsh words for a girl of 3. They said them when they baptized me.

Someone Willing to Stay by read_to_escape13

"Damn it, Mason, you can't fix me. I'm not some used car that needs an oil change." I'm standing at the edge of my driveway. If I take one step towards that house, then I go back to my life. The life I've had since Mason left. Since he abandoned me. If I turn around. If I take one second to look into his eyes. I don't think I'll be able to resist throwing myself in his arms. "I'm shattered, Mason. Like a dusty vase that's been ignored for too long." "You know the best thing about broken vases, Mel? You just need three things to make them whole." I decide to go along with his speech. "Faith, trust, and pixie dust?" I muse. "Tape, glue, and someone willing to fix it. And I'm right here, Mel."

Bring me the light by thehurricanewolf

**Please forgive if this is totally crappy and the mistakes during my writing. This is my first story so I don't expect it to be that good. I really hope you give my book a chance, who knows what'll happen.** Riley Summers moves in with her grandmother after a troubled night happens back home. She reunites with her two best friends and in the new town puts on a happy face. No one seems to look past her mask but that's how she likes it. Now let's add Noah Miles, the boy who moved to town two years ago, he sees her, he observes her and he notices the mask. And what does he decide? To break it. Sometimes you need help to fight the demons inside your head and who could be a better help than someone who has experience with demons? Join the journey of two messed up lives, two overloaded minds, two broken hearts that finally find healing in the other one. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Life isn't easy, it is freaking hard and the moment you think you've won a battle it will throw something at you, twice as hard, and it will break you, into tiny pieces, but I will be damned if I let anyone see me broken. Because they will comfort me at first and then they will use these pieces to create bigger wounds and I don't think I can take anymore." "I wouldn't use those pieces against you. I would take them and try to glue them together." "And if you couldn't?" "I would improvise."

Shattered Pieces (Wattys 2024) by Penny987

Sapphire always felt like she was missing a big part of her life not knowing anything about her birth father. Tragedy strikes and her whole world comes crashing down around her. What she thought she knew is turned upside down, shattering her into a million pieces. Can she rebuild her life now that the truth has been revealed? Sapphire's 18th birthday is approaching fast, and she can't wait to meet her wolf for the first time and hopefully meet her mate. But nobody could foresee the events that transpire when she finally does. I have put trigger warnings at the beginning of the chapter, that have violence and smut. You can skip those chapters and carry on to the next one. Shattered Pieces will be updated once a week. This story is nearly complete on my computer. ############################################################################### This is the first story that I have ever written. I look forward to your comments, but please be kind. It is not perfect. All negative comments will be deleted. The idea of this story came to me when New Zealand went into Lockdown due to Cover 19. While the rest of the country had to stay at home, the few of us who were classified as essential workers kept the country running. This story helped me cope with the added stress of all the restrictions in place. Enjoy, and please don't forget to vote and leave comments. This story is completely my idea, so NO copying it onto any other platform. A big shout out to my friend, who has been with me the whole way and has encouraged me to carry on with the story when I nearly gave up on it. @DrWhoEmily No 1 # Worrior

Jasper Hale x Reader [Twilight Saga Fanfic] | READ DESCRIPTION by LilacOnion

And then I remembered the strange doctor and his even stranger children. The progression of my condition and the coming to terms with my mortality. My hand gripped onto his, "Does this mean you won't run from me anymore?" I dared to glance in his direction. Into his beautiful eyes I fell as I felt him lift my hand and place his firm, yet smooth, lips against it. His southern twang came out as he spoke, "No, ma'am." ~~~~ A story in which a girl with a deadly condition gets the chance at a happily ever after. Versión española : @traduccionesmapache This story technically has an end as I've posted the plans I had for the last 12 chapters. Though this may be an unsatisfying end.

No, I don't think I do. 'Do I have anyone who cares about me?' No, I'm a loner and socially awkward. 'Do I have privileges?' No, if you haven't understood the message yet, I live in an abusive household. Now, you might ask if there are any questions the answer is yes. I'll give you some. 'Do I want to die?' Yes, I sometimes do. 'Do I feel alone in this world?' Yes, always. 'Do I get a beating every day?' Yes. *** This is Amara Williams, a 13 year-old with average grades and no friends. What happens when her only guardian, her dad, is dead? What happens when she finds out that she has five older brothers who are not only strict and demanding, but also protective assholes?
