Snapshots explores a more intimate legacy, one that is relatable to most women. It explores the legacy a mother leaves with her daughter implicitly and explicitly. If a daughter models what she sees, what happens when the model is dysfunctional? Hypocritical? Yet expecting success and social assimilation? Snapshots describes what daughters saw at home conflict with the desire to break free of cultural expectations.   Snapshots culminates into self acceptance. It expresses a victory over social pressure yet establishes a peace through what links women together: our ability to persevere, our ability to mother, our ability to be culturally engaged without sacrificing ourselves.All Rights Reserved

Ripples of us by Sherlynrouge

"That's great, just a little closer now," The photographer instruct, motioning with his hands for the bride to step in a bit closer to her husband. She hesitate for a moment, a flicker of uncertainty in her eyes, but then takes a small step forward, closing the distance between her and her husband. The photographer raises his camera, peering through the viewfinder to frame the shot. The groom looking at her, a mix of anticipation and nervousness on his face. Pressing the button to focus, the sound of the camera's autofocus filling the air. "Alright, big smiles everyone!" photographer calls out, his finger hovering over the shutter release. The groom immediately flashes a wide grin, his eyes crinkling at the corners. But the bride, she seems frozen, her smile forced and her eyes darting away from the camera. A glimmer of something else in her eyes. Perhaps it's acceptance, or maybe just resignation. Just as the photo was gonna be taken, the groom turns his head slightly towards her. His smile softens, and for a brief moment, there's a tender look in his eyes as he glances at her. It's a fleeting expression, but it's enough to capture the essence of the moment. Pressing the shutter, the flash illuminating their faces as the camera captures the image. The sound of the shutter echoes in the room. As the flash subsides, lowering the camera and offering them both a thumbs-up. "Perfect," the photographer says, his voice brimming with confidence.

The Cursed Gene by jacesinclair

A story of a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother.

Dead on Arrival - Resurrected by Grace by acpickett

I love the beginnings of stories. Whether it be a book or a movie, I enjoy the opening scenes the most. Because they hold all the promises of what is to come; unburdened by commitment or baggage. Beginnings are full of hope. This story is an exception. Because the beginning of it is a sad one. It's the ending, however, that makes this story worthwhile. It's been several years since these events occurred and I have spent the majority of that time contemplating how best to share this story. Why? Because stories are important and everyone has one. This one is mine...

Alastor x Reader oneshots (COMPLETED) by AngelicaDiabolus

Hiya folks, this is some oneshots of our favorite Strawberry Pimp, Deer Daddy, Deer boi, etc etc. Be warned whenever I write angst it usually ends in fluff so if you want really angsty stuff, ya better comment it specifically that you want extreme angst. Though, whenever I do that I spend a ton of time really sad about the ending. Requests might take awhile for me to do, but now that I have nothing to do requests are free until I say otherwise. Enjoy casual, curious, and or cringed out readers, while myself and the thirsty fangirls scream over fangirl stuff. Request can be Fluff, Angst, Lemon, Lime etc etc.

Severus Snape One-shots by somniumxdream

A little collection of Snape one-shots I wrote. No longer active - moved to Tumblr! Warning: these one-shots are not yet rewritten! They're pretty old and may contain OOC moments or typos. New versions of each one-shot will be posted to Tumblr in due time. Thanks for your patience!

What We Leave Behind - COMPLETED by ArianneBarroma

"How do you not wonder what the world looks like Wren? Haven't you ever wanted to make a difference? I can't just leave this planet and not be known for something." "Not everyone has to save lives or save the planet to be a somebody, Jay. God knows I haven't done anything special, but point people towards a beach. Sometimes all we were meant to do is make a difference to one person." Jayden Hopps suffers from a congenital disorder called Ventricular Septal Defect. An anomaly that happens at birth, when a hole in the walls of his heat failed to close. After years of surgeries and treatment, his heart now refuses to be mended, Wren Razario's only experience with people was revealing the best cliffs to take photos of Winter Island's coast. She didn't have any intentions saving lives, let alone a man with holes in his heart. Literal holes in his heart. Follow their journey as they find the meaning of life and death in a small Island the world had forgotten. Follow their journey in discovering the meaning of living, because in a life full of days to make your mark, what difference have you made? Which people will remember you? Who will you remember? What do you leave behind?

2019 Writing Scrapbook Part 2 by kwexell82304

DISCLAIMER: Some of the works within here will contain photos. All photos or drawings were created by me or were given access to me, and they are all either photos of the events off which the writing itself is based, or they were created to represent the event that was discussed. Most of my writing is deeply personal to me and some of them have roots in real situations in my life, while others are fictitious and SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN LITERALLY. My previous writing scrapbook was filled to the brim with my thoughts put down to words, so now it's time to finish off the year with a new edition of my writing scrapbook. This year my emotions have gone awry, so I've been unable to put away my pen and paper. This will contain various snippets of my writing, such as poetry, short stories, excerpts, quotes, vents, and other mediums.

Vital by -bites

Featured on @WattpadPoetry's reading list Stygian Skies and @CoffeeCommunity's Cappuccino reading list. A poetry book that trembles with fear, explodes with rage, and loves with everything it has. It tries to make sense of the past and explores trauma head on in an unfiltered way that leaves no room for denial. It's a documentation of my entire life, moments both sun kissed and dark. A book written with the new understanding that expressing how you feel is absolutely vital. Most of my poems come from personal experience and some topics may be sensitive to some readers. Some themes included consist of toxic household environments, the loss of loved ones, abusive relationships, suicidal thoughts and actions, and struggling with mental illness.

Take a Left Here by BumbleRex

A series of short stories, diving into the idea of mortality, choices, fear and hope, and coping with loss. Are we alone the drivers of our fate, or is something bigger than ourselves in charge? How many stories pass through the doors of the same hospital, and how many endings leave those same doors? **Original story. Plot and characters are mine and mine alone.**

A Poet's Diary by aia_solace

She doesn't simply cry when she's upset or disappointed, nor does she just smile all day when she finally get to grab that tiny bit of hope. It would be hard for her to talk about love just as simply as bringing up a favorite song, nor would it be easy to talk about a heartbreak. She couldn't just talk about the things that she misses, or even the things that she admires about life. She'd think to herself that what she has shown is only a mere facade of what she truly felt. So for every tear, every smile, every lonesome time, and every hope and fear, she wrote it all out. ::Began publishing on 2023::
