Starting Over is a fictional story about love, love lost, and the emotional paradox of identifying how to be ready- and not ready- to try again. Any likeness to real people and situations is merely coincidental, as I am working to share the emotions, process, self doubt and growth of the character I envision. She carries with her bits of many stories and experiences a variety of people have shared with me over the years.

This is Mikah, a middle aged woman who never expected to be facing divorce, or starting over, and with children looking to her to address previous and ongoing choices.My goal in this story is not that we see anyone in particular , but possibly a little of all of us, walking through whatever it is life throws at us. I am intentionally exploring emotions, processing, and the movement forward and backward in readiness, skills, boundaries and all. 

If I'm completely transparent, I feel we live in a world where society heavily judges the struggles of others, and we often don't begin to see that the struggles others experience are far more complicated than we may believe. Understanding one another could be the first step in creating a better world.

Anything we undertake in life comes with "plot twists " - those random challenges life and people throw our way. I have several planned for Mikah, but the beauty of this format is that you- the readers who are walking this journey with me-  are welcome and encouraged to suggest some yourselves! Self growth and exploration, the idea that it's okay and human to make mistakes and correct our course, are inspiring to me. There are so many amazing stories and inspiring people around us, please feel welcome to reflect in a positive growth mindset with us!

Destined To Be Together (Completed) ✔ by LonelyPrincess239

"You are hurting yourself." I gasped while my eyes wide open listening to a deep and husky voice. I found a man sitting in front of me with frowns on his head. He kept gazing me for like a minute and then again opened his mouth. "Why are you getting scared? I'm also a human just like you." He said rolling his eyes and I looked down while taking deep breaths. "I should be honest with you, right?" I frowned hearing him but didn't dare to look up at him. "At least nod your head if you don't want to talk." I heard him and nodded my head lightly. "I was not ready for this marriage and I was informed about my Nikah in the morning. So, please don't expect me to act like the ideal husband which you girls dream about. I may not match your expectations." I looked up hearing him and chuckled inwardly.

I said who looked at me hearing me and I sighed when I found her eyes filled with tears. "Let the society fail this time. It always win messing up with our minds. How about you win this time?"

In the Moonlight [Completed] by Red_Pheonix26

"Are you stalking me?" His deep voice asked. "You wish, that would mean I actually thought about you enough to wonder where you are." I looked away smugly. Max moved closer to me until his face was right in front of mine. "You're saying you don't think about me?" He smirked, fully knowing what the proximity was doing to me. "I don't, why? Did you want me to?" I Regained my composure as I moved even closer, our lips nearly touching. ~~~ Alexa is a normal girl who just wanted to get through school without any trouble. She didn't want any attention. She just wanted to leave those nightmares behind, forgetting what happened before. However, all of that changes when her mum gets married and she's forced to move to a new city. Leaving everything behind, she hopes to blend in and go to university but life has other plans. In the woods, lurking in the shadows is someone who can't stay away and will definitely ruin all of Alexa's plans and change her life showing her that things aren't always as they seem. How can two people that hate each other be mates? To add to the mix, parties, late night discussions and a school trip is sure to add drama to her life. Warning: this story is sometimes very cliché and has a few of my own twists on it. The guy might make you cry, laugh or blush and wish guys like him existed in real life. (Well, at least further into the story.) This story contains swearing and some slightly mature content. You have been warned. Best rankings: - #2 humanxwerewolf - #1 gift ~This is my first story and I hope you will give it a chance!~ I promise it will get better. Important: I do not own any of the videos, music or images I use in this story.

Unwanted Mates (Black Moon Book One) by GosiaAC

"He can die 'cause we haven't had sex?" I say as the weight of what she's just told me hits me like a ton of bricks. "The longer the Alpha stays in that state the more dangerous it gets. The pressure on the body because of a conflict with his decision not to mate with you and his wolf's need to mate carries a huge risk."

Love how the story is unfolding after each chapter" Review by @simrangharge, Twirling pages (The Review book) THIS IS MY FIRST BOOK AND I HOPE YOU ALL WILL HAVE AS MUCH FUN READING IT AS I HAD WRITING IT :) THERE ARE SOME HEAVY TOPICS MENTIONED (like rape and child abuse). PLEASE COMMENT :) None of the pictures used in this book are mine.

Prostitute Stained Love (EreMika) | (Completed) by uwu_derp

"Why do you do it, Mikasa?" I, Mikasa Ackerman, am a prostitute. I have a really careless behavior and you should never trust me with a child. My childhood is something that I never want to remember, so I don't think about it. I wasn't blessed with a good home or stable family. The only thing I was blessed with was a "perfect body", so girls say. So, I take advantage of it. It's not so bad, getting money out of pleasure. I never panic nor do I think ahead of life. Getting a stable job and having a family is the last thing on my mind. Well, it was. Until I got a request from him, Eren Jaeger. Attack on Titan AU I do not own Shingeki no Kyojin or any of the characters mentioned! Other events will happen [07/05/21 NOTICE: I decided to take down the prologue to this story because I wrote it a long time ago when I was really ignorant on matters than I shouldn't have been writing about since I didn't fully understand them. I apologize to anyone that I may have offended, hurt, or triggered, because I, myself, as a woman who has had her fair share of sexual harassment, now realize how harmful that chapter is. I implore anyone who read that prologue and didn't see anything wrong with it to do educate themselves on rape and sexual assault, because it really is a delicate matter that I shouldn't have spoken about so carelessly. Again, I apologize and, now that I know what was wrong with it, took it down.]

Bump Buddies: Take Two by NiPpEl_nInJa

This is a complete reworking of my story "Bump Buddies". So if you've read the original, throw out everything you think you know and remember and start anew! Y/N has always struggled to find a family to call her own. Her biological parents abandoned her, her adoptive ones died tragically and her adoptive brothers are both too selfish to give her the time of day. She's good at hiding how hurt it makes her feel, but little does she know one bad decision will lead to the family she's always dreamed of. It's not conventional, it's not ideal, but it sure is entertaining. I love everyone that supported the first story but I'm so embarrassed by it due to how young I was when it was written. Now, 6 years later I want to try again and make it worth your time. So let's enjoy this new adventure together!

Second Chances At Love by panthesaiyan

Savant Awards Winner #16 in mystery romance on 10.08.2022 #14 in womenpower When 29-year-old Hannah married 36-year-old Albert, one of the richest people in the world she was already numb. After marriage, she also got a rebellious teenage stepson as a side gift. How will these 3 misfit people live together under the same roof and become an awkwardly sweet family? ********************************************* "Why don't you give me and yourself a chance?" He asked. "Maybe because I do not have anything else to live for" She replied "Then let's build things to love a lifetime for." He replied with determination. "I won't think of you as my real mother, but don't worry, I'll be a good son" Chimed in her stepson. Love is not always sweet, at first sight, and during college or office. Love can also be encountered by chance in the most pessimistic scenarios. It can be your last salvation when you have nothing to hold on to. She was already dead inside, so the addition of two virtual people did not bother her already stagnant life much. But the peace did not last for long. She wanted to get through life quietly but life had other plans for her. With the addition of this 2 cold-looking but soft-hearted people in her life she slowly regained some purpose to live. She started the things which she had left before and stood on her own two feet. Her husband complained one day. "I heard about something you mentioned outside, that men only care more when they're older? So? Are you complaining that I'm old now?" Hannah said, "Wait, listen to me!" **************** The story will be long and detailed with lots of family moments and some dry humour added in here and there. This is not the cliché love at first sight story, but it will be very sweet. Updates:weekly.

My Purgatory Hell by desireehanson94

Maribell had a promising life ahead of her, and a family that loved her. She didn't realize how much she took for granted until she lost her life. Now in order to rest in peace, Maribell needs to learn how to cope with the emotional chains holding her back. Through the help of a new friend, will she be able to find the peace she needs? ***** A/N: This story was inspired by a true event that occurred near where I live. A woman (who had kids and a husband) had lost her life. This initially started a spiral of thoughts leading to the creation of this story. There are a lot of mirroring qualities between my life and Maribell's, but unlike the lovely woman who had passed (I personally don't know her, but may she rest in peace), I don't have kids or a significant other, so I had to put my own spin on things. I also added in texting and driving, because the combination is unsafe. May you find this story to be as eye opening as I did when I wrote it! Comments and votes are welcomed and encouraged. Enjoy reading!
