Exploring a star filled city strapped to the back of a hot girls motorcycle. Getting stood up by your date on valentine's day. Rekindling love with an old friend at a crazy wedding. A fleeting summer romance with an older girl who lives across the street. What could possibly go wrong?
Better To Have Loved is a book that explores all of life's firsts, including the most important three: first crushes, first loves, and first heartbreaks. Newcomer to Wattpad's author scene, Julianna Roman Wilder, weaves her real life experiences into a rom com style collection of short stories to lift you spirits and push you to take your chances with the one you love.
Although some of these stories of romance don't have that picture perfect happily ever after ending, you'll still find yourself, laughing, crying and swooning along with all the characters as they discover one of the many secret truths to life: "Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

12 Steps to Not Fall in Love on Wattpad
Nini has always dreamed of a life straight out of a romance book. Except her teenage years were filled with anxious thoughts about crushes who seemed to be more interested in getting in her friends' pants than talking to her, growing insecurities regarding her appearance, and date after date where the guys would always find an excuse to never text back. Then came adulthood, when Nini realized whenever she was in the room, love seemed to run the opposite way. So she accepted it wasn't for her and made a promise to forget everything about fairytales and focus solely on getting her shit together after a bad start to her adult life. If you were to ask, she'd say she was doing a pretty good job. Until the day a newfound attraction towards women sparks, and Nini decides to check out some stories on an online book platform she used to be addicted as a teenager. There, she makes the huge mistake of reading the comments section where, under a really funny line, she finds a girl way too interesting to ignore. Her second biggest mistake is to hit the follow button.

Threads of Tapestry
Different stories, different fates, different lessons. This is a collection of my short stories and one-shots that introduce you to different perspectives and aim to share valuable messages about love and life. - Sometimes, we just need a story that allows us to feel the things that make us human. That vulnerability, the warmth...I hope you could feel them through my pieces. May the words from these stories reach and embrace the depths of you. Like a hug from someone you just need to feel alive again, the kind that gives you the strength to try and face everything once more. Note that: Some of the stories you'll find here were written a few years ago (around 2020-2022), some previously, and all are compiled here. They are not sorted by date or in any particular order (except for those with several parts), so I can't say the ones on the first pages were the first ones I wrote. I might put here some of my upcoming or soon-to-be-written short stories as well. So you can always pick randomly and read. Enjoy reading! I do not solely own the book cover I used. I utilized and edited the elements from Canva.

Awkward
- a featured story on wattpad @sport - a featured story on wattpad @generalfiction School has an odd way of making you hate it yet love the people you meet. I hate both. I've been the new boy at my school for nearly five months. Since my family's life of poverty was flipped on its head I've seen my entire world open up; it's like I was living in a cave. This time last year, I was 'too poor to have a Valentine'. This time this year, I just don't have the guts. Seriously, "Valentine's Day is the root of human anxiety." ~ Albert Einstein. (Don't look it up. I'm telling you what 'the government' doesn't want you to know.) But school has an odd way of giving you the perfect friends, a perfect love life and perfectly supporting your dreams to be a pro football player like your older brother. That, or it crushes you. It just crushes you. Your dreams? Crushed. Your friends? Meh. Your love life? Nonexistent (but as soon as it exists, CRUSHED). But we don't know what will happen for sure, right? I'm Roman Turner, but you can call me "the cool man". Gosh, I know I'll cringe at this later. ----------- - a featured story on wattpad @sport - a romance winner at the multi awards - a story told through two points of view • Romance/Sport/Slice of Life | Roman • Prose/Mystery/Psychological | Danielle • BOOK ONE: LIVING. • (EST.) 3390 words/part. • Cover artist - Sage Hieran.
