arkansas familypride freerangeparenting growingup growingupsouthern humor libertarian memoir nonficspotlight nonfiction philosophy quirky

Stories from another time and place to make you think, laugh, and possibly shed a tear.  I know I did, but for me the stories are personal.  This is for those who can appreciate the insanity of the world I was raised in.  
One should never judge the past by the standards of the present.  Of course, that doesn't stop me from judging the present by the standards of the past.  Age and a lifetime of hard-earned experience has earned me that privilege.All Rights Reserved

Thresheld by StanleyZgrodek

My life is a series of thresholds that I overcome through poetry. Love, loss, pain, regret, humor, irony, word play, and even sarcasm are as much apart of my life as they are central to my poems here. I am Thresheld. UPDATE: It's been quite a few years since I started this book, and it has become rather prolific. I am currently working on organizing my poetry to make it easy to navigate. For now I've posted my recommendations and a few favorite shorts. Feel free to check out anything here there is no order you need to read in and there isn't any separation of emotional content so who knows what you might get. Anyways leave a comment, pretty please :3

JUDGE ME, I DARE YOU! by kassy_gennifar

JUGDE ME; I DARE YOU! If you've never messed up...cast a stone at me. I sensed their rage from the way they looked at me. I heard the disapproval of the world and felt the hate from the society. From the way the universe worked on me... it seemed like it was against me. I did the most unthinkable things... I am sure my parents in heaven will be disappointed ... they might hate me forever- and my friends; embarrassed of my existence. One thing I know for sure is- am not the only one who lost their way while trying to figure things out, am not the only one who has worn her shirt inside out, am not the only one who has gotten into street fights, am not the only one who has preferred the lies to the truth...am not the only one who is cursed! Can I not be forgiven? can't my imperfections be ignored? So, unless you're God; unless you've got perfection in your DNA- unless you've never messed up...cast a stone at me. JUDGE ME, I DARE YOU! AMADI JENNIFER.

Lovely by CAZ365

This is a story about love, relationships, toxicity, recovery, and hope. In this story we will delve into the reality of abusive relationships at their core. Discussions will be had about what it's really like living in a hell like no other ever imagined. Something which will make the devil look like a kind soul. Welcome to my story.

Pretty Sure I'm Dead by CFarley982

Where in the secret to life the universe and everything is revealed. Who says entertaining writing has to have a story, or a plot? Why can't it be just a stream of consciousness, some interesting episodes from one's life, some regrets revisited, some apologies long overdue, some philosophical speculations and some plain nonsense to keep it entertaining?
