It's the story of a child. Called useless, fragile, weak, pathetic, flawed and a waste of space. The story of a person who has lost them selves and been broken. The story of a people-pleaser. A person who bends, breaks, and changes soley based on the likes and dislikes of others. Someone who has built them selves to serve others, be useful and productive to all. Someone who changes who they are just so that one day someone will find actual worth and sentiment in them. Until that day comes how ever, they are erratic. Afraid of being useless and flawed. Afraid of being anything but pleasant and purposeful. A person who can do anything in essence, only to serve those around them because if they can't do anything and everything then what use are they? This person inside screams and cries, and is confused as to who they are. This person outside is smiles, devotion, adaptable, and pleasantry. A person who doesn't know if they can handle it for much longer. That is the story.

"There comes a point where you no longer care if there's a light at the end of the tunnel or not. You're just sick of the tunnel." - Who I am doesn't matter. How I got here doesn't matter. What matters now is I'm getting help, right? That's what they tell me here. They tell me that the road to recovery feels like a terrible butt fuck, but the fact that you're on the path to begin with, is all that matters. So as I sit in this circle of fuck ups, I realize just how different I am from them. I didn't attempt suicide because my mother was a crack addict who didn't want me. My father wasn't abusive. I didn't have a sibling die in a car accident. I was never really bullied either. I attempted suicide because, for the first time in years, I thought I had found something that could make me feel again... and after not feeling much at all for far too long, perhaps I went a bit overboardComplete

California Eyes [Taylor x OC]
~ got a girl with california eyes and I thought that she could really be the one this time. But I never got the chance to make her mine because she *is too* in love with little thin white lines ~ They say beauty is pain but is it really? Is less always more? It seems to be that way, at least for Taylor Swift, who strikes to meet every beauty standard there is to meet. In the world of fame she lives in, her drastic weight loss doesn't go by unnoticed, and only hours after the final show of her successful Eras Tour she finds herself in a psych ward, forced to face her relentless struggles with food. Not long after the events of the famous singer being dragged to the psych ward, Maeve - a homeless drug addict roaming the streets of LA - is met with a similar fate as she wakes up in that same psych ward after an unintentional overdose. How will things work out for them? Can they win their internal battles? Will they make each other's lives even more miserable in the process or could they actually find comfort in one another?Complete
Sound of a Broken Drum
Syd is living on the edge of his broken psyche when he comes across the person he had been waiting his entire life to meet. As things flourish, the rude awakening of the edict "nothing gold can stay" changes the tune of Syd's life as he finds out a truth that is completely devastating. And in the world of mental illness, this is a particularly harsh reality where Syd has to make a difficult decision on what he has to give up in his life. But even a broken drum has to keep beating. The entire story has been published from Chapter 1 to the Epilogue. It is broken into three parts, each quite distinct from the others as Syd's life is altered dramatically. This thing is a labor of love. After completing the story, I realized how much it meant to me personally. I learned things about myself I did not know until I wrote it. I feel as if from writing "Sound of a Broken Drum", my life has changed. In the way I perceive it and in the way I perceive the world around me. This story is not for everyone. There are a lot of people I know who would never want to read something like this. It's not for the apathetic, the privileged, the ones who coast and indulge in the bullshit. I know a lot of people like that. Maybe I wrote it as a means to get away from them. There are certainly people I feel who would read something like this. The mentally-pained, the loners, introverts, the lonely, those who struggle through the everyday things many people take for granted. Those who know too much. And feel too much. I know what that is like. And I know this is why I wrote it. Because we can share each other's experiences through words, no one has to ever feel like they are alone, regardless of how distant the world is. And regardless of how much trash and clutter from society there is in the way of your field of vision, always know there are those few you will find who will make the struggle well-worth it. Hope you enjoy the story, beautiful soul.Complete

Or is this the kind of love that never really dies, no matter how much it burns?Complete
Emotions Unmotivated
The human mind is a labyrinth-its darkest corners often shrouded in shadows we'd rather not illuminate. This story dares to venture into that obscurity, exploring the chilling yet captivating reality of a psychopathic mind. But this is not a tale of monsters. It is a tale of humanity-flawed, fragile, and, at times, deeply unsettling. In this book, you will not find the clear dichotomy of good versus evil. Instead, you will discover shades of gray where morality bends and fractures under the weight of ambition, desire, and survival. It is a journey through the eyes of someone who sees the world differently, whose thoughts and actions are shaped by the absence of the constraints most of us take for granted. This is a story about a person-not a diagnosis. It is not meant to explain, excuse, or justify, but rather to provoke thought, challenge assumptions, and confront the uncomfortable truths that dwell within us all.Complete
